Ingredients
To whip up your condensed milk lemonade, you’ll need the following ingredients:
-
1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
- Tip: For a sweeter flavor, use slightly overripe lemons.
-
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Alternative: Use unsweetened almond milk with a sweetener of choice for a dairy-free version.
-
4 cups cold water
- Suggestion: Try sparkling water for a fizzy twist!
-
Ice cubes (for serving)
-
Lemon slices and fresh mint (for garnish)
- Option: Use berries or edible flowers for a colorful presentation.
Instructions
Squeeze the fresh lemons to extract 1 cup of lemon juice. Make sure to strain out the seeds for a smooth drink. This fresh juice is what brings the bright tanginess to your condensed milk lemonade.
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Stir well until the condensed milk has completely dissolved, giving you a luscious creamy consistency. Pro-tip: whisking instead of stirring can help to blend the ingredients more effectively!
Slowly pour in the cold water, stirring continuously. Taste the mixture to determine if you’d like to add more water or lemon juice based on your preference. Remember, balance is key!
Add ice cubes to your glasses, then pour in the lemonade mixture. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint for an aromatic touch. Serving this drink immediately not only enhances freshness but also ensures that those ice cubes add a delightful chill.
