Description

This Condensed Milk Lemonade is a creamy, tangy twist on the classic lemonade, combining fresh lemon juice with sweetened condensed milk for a rich and refreshing beverage. Perfectly balanced with water and optional simple syrup for sweetness, this drink is chilled and served over ice, garnished with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Lemonade

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Ice cubes, to taste

For Garnish

  • Lemon slices
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemons: Roll the lemons on a countertop to maximize juice extraction. Cut them in half and juice them until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Stir well to mix them together, making sure there are no lumps from the condensed milk.
  3. Add Water: Gradually add the cold water to the pitcher of lemon mixture. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. Taste the lemonade, and if preferred, add simple syrup to reach your desired sweetness.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the lemonade for about 30 minutes to cool completely. Alternatively, serve immediately over ice cubes for a refreshing experience.
  5. Serve: Fill tall glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled lemonade over the ice, and garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a few mint leaves.
  6. Enjoy: Stir the drink with a straw if desired, and enjoy the creamy, tart flavor of your unique condensed milk lemonade!

Notes

  • You can serve immediately with ice or chill for 30 minutes for a colder drink.
  • Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing aroma and flavor as garnish.
  • Stir well to avoid lumps from condensed milk.
