Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium lime
- 1 ½ cup cold water
- 3 Tablespoons unbleached cane sugar (or regular white sugar)
- 2 Tablespoons dairy free sweetened condensed milk (or either coconut or oat milk, I prefer the coconut milk one in this recipe)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- ½ to 1 cup frozen sweet cherries (or pitted fresh cherries)
Instructions
- Wash and cut the lime in half, then cut into quarters or eighths. Add to a blender.1 medium lime
- Add the water, sugar, dairy free sweetened condensed milk, then add the ice.1 ½ cup cold water, 3 Tablespoons unbleached cane sugar, 2 Tablespoons dairy free sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup ice cubes
- There are 2 ways to make this drink with the cherries: #1: Add the frozen or fresh cherries to the blender with the whole limes, pulse a few times, then pour it through a fine mesh wire strainer. You don't want to completely puree everything, but you'll want to see some lime pieces so you can strain them out. #2: Leave out the cherries and blend the other ingredients and strain it to make a regular Brazilian lemonade. Then return the lemonade back to the blender (after rinsing out your blender), then add the frozen cherries to the Brazilian lemonade and blend it, making a slightly thicker cherry Brazilian lemonade.1/2 to 1 cup frozen sweet cherries
- Choose how you want to blend in the cherries, then pour your drink through a strainer and divide into 2 glasses with ice and serve immediately.
- You can save this for later, but I find that the lime peel oils get bitter if not enjoyed immediately, and the drink tends to separate as well. So this is best served immediately.
Notes
For a low sugar version: use the Nature's Charm sugar free coconut sweetened condensed milk and granulated Swerve.
