The Perfect Summer Drink: Refreshing Brazilian Lemonade

It's a hot one out there, and we have just the thing to cool you down. This Brazilian lemonade is just what you need to refresh your taste buds and cool off in this summer heat. Sweet, creamy, and oh-so refreshing! 

Plant-Based, Vegan

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 juicy limes washed and scrubbed clean
• 6 cups water
• ⅔ cup of agave syrup
• 6 Tablespoons sweetened condensed coconut milk

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wash limes thoroughly to remove any pesticides or wax.  Slice off the ends of each lime, then cut them into ⅛ths.  
2. In a blender, combine half of the water, half of the agave, and half of the limes, then pulse 5-7 times (it should still be chunky!).  Pour this liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing the lime pulp with a spoon to help release juices, then discard the remaining skins and pulp.  
3. Add the freshly blended liquid back into the blender with the other half of the water and sugar, and combine until smooth.
4. Add the sweetened condensed milk into the limeade and serve with lots of ice and thin slices of lime for garnish.  

TIP: You can adjust the sweetness level by adding extra sweetened condensed milk or agave syrup as needed.
