Ingredients

Scale

Lemonade Base

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 46 lemons)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups cold water (adjust for desired sweetness)
  • 1 zest of 1 lemon

Garnish and Serving

  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish, as needed
  • Lemon slices for garnish, as needed

Instructions

  1. Mix Lemon Juice and Condensed Milk: In a large mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together until fully combined and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Cold Water: Gradually add cold water, starting with 2 cups, mixing well after each addition. Taste the mixture and adjust by adding more water if the flavor is too strong until you achieve your preferred balance of sweetness and tartness.
  3. Incorporate Lemon Zest: Stir in the lemon zest into the mixture to add an extra burst of fresh citrus flavor, enhancing the overall taste and aroma.
  4. Prepare the Pitcher: Fill a large pitcher with ice cubes to chill the drink perfectly. Pour the lemon-condensed milk mixture over the ice and stir gently to combine and cool the lemonade thoroughly.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Pour the chilled lemonade into glasses. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lemon on the rim for a refreshing presentation and added aroma.

Notes

  • You can adjust the water quantity to suit your taste preference for sweetness and tartness.
  • For a lighter version, consider using evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk and adjust sugar accordingly.
  • This lemonade is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before serving.
  • Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavors if desired.
