Brazilian Lemonade (aka Limonada Suíça)

_INGREDIENTS:

• 3 fresh limes
• 3 cups cold water
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup ice (plus extra for serving)

_{INSTRUCTIONS:}

1. Cut the limes into small chunks – no need to peel.
2. Add the lime chunks and cold water to a blender. Blitz for 15–20 seconds – no more, or it’ll turn bitter.
3. Strain through a sieve to remove the pulp.
4. Rinse the blender, then pour the strained liquid back in.
5. Add the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of ice. Blend until smooth and frothy.
6. Serve immediately over extra ice.

_{TOP TIP}

This drink is best enjoyed straight away, as the bitterness from the lime skins can develop if left sitting around.

_{THREE WAYS TO USE UP THE PULP}

_‍Zingy Marinades – Mix with garlic, herbs, and oil to marinate fish, chicken or tofu.

Salad Dressing Base – Whisk into vinaigrettes for a sharp lime punch.

Lime Ice Cubes – Freeze with water or mint and chuck into future drinks.
