Main Ingredients:
- 4 limes (washed and quartered)
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 6 cups (1.4 liters) cold water
Garnish:
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Quartered limes, sugar, and initial water volume enter the blender, creating a vibrant citrus base at high speed for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and sugar dissolves.
- Position a fine-mesh sieve over a spacious pitcher, carefully pouring the blended mixture to extract a silky, pulp-free liquid.
- Introduce remaining cold water into the pitcher, thoroughly mixing to achieve a balanced, refreshing consistency.
- Fill serving glasses with crisp ice cubes, preparing for the chilled beverage.
- Gently pour the Brazilian limeade over the ice, ensuring each glass receives an equal portion of the tangy mixture.
- Optional: Delicately crown each glass with fresh mint leaves, enhancing the drink’s aromatic profile and visual appeal.
- Give a quick, gentle stir just before consumption to redistribute the flavors and guarantee a perfectly integrated beverage.
Notes
- Maximize lime flavor by using fresh, ripe limes with vibrant green color and firm texture.
- Adjust sweetness levels by gradually adding sugar, tasting as you blend to suit personal preferences.
- For a lighter version, replace granulated sugar with honey or stevia for reduced calorie content.
- Create a creamy variation by adding a splash of sweetened condensed milk for a richer, smoother texture.
