Lemonade with Condensed Milk (Print-Friendly Version)

Cool off with bright lemon juice swirled into velvety condensed milk, all poured over ice and topped with your favorite slice or green.

# Ingredients List:

→ Lemonade Base

01 - 1/4 cup simple syrup (add to taste, if you want)
02 - 2 cups cold water
03 - 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
04 - 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)

→ Serving and Garnish

05 - Lemon slices, to top off
06 - Fresh mint sprigs, for a pop of green
07 - Plenty of ice cubes

# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Give your drink a little stir, then go ahead and take a sip. Creamy and citrusy, right?
02 - Drop some ice into tall glasses. Pour in your cool lemonade, and toss in some lemon slices with mint to finish it off.
03 - Pop your lemonade in the fridge for half an hour so it’s good and cold. If you’re impatient, just pour it over ice and call it done.
04 - Start mixing in the cold water. Keep stirring as you go so it all gets blended. Taste it and, if it’s not sweet enough, splash in that simple syrup.
05 - Pour the sweetened condensed milk and your lemon juice into a big pitcher. Whisk it until it’s smooth and you can’t see any bits of milk floating around.
06 - Grab your lemons and roll them on the countertop to get more juice out. Cut them open and squeeze until you hit a cup of juice.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Want more fruity vibes? Mash in a handful of berries or swirl in some pureed fruit before pouring it up.
