Ingredients
  

For the Drink
  • 4 limes Limes Use semi-soft, smooth-skinned limes for maximum juiciness.
  • 3 cups Water Essential for blending lime flavor and ensuring the right consistency.
  • 2 cups Strawberries Use fresh or frozen; frozen strawberries yield a slush-like texture.
  • 1 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk Substitute with coconut milk for a dairy-free option to maintain the creamy feel.
  • 2 cups Ice Optional, but highly recommended for optimal refreshment on hot days.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Adjust according to personal sweetness preference.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by thoroughly washing and drying your limes. Cut them into wedges to expose the juicy flesh.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine the lime wedges with 3 cups of cool water. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until liquefied.
  3. Use a wire strainer to strain the blended lime mixture into a clean container, pressing to extract every drop.
  4. Pour the strained lime liquid back into the blender. Add strawberries, ice, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar. Blend until smooth.
  5. Pour your Creamy Brazilian Strawberry Limeade into tall glasses over ice. Garnish with a lime slice or a whole strawberry.
