Lemonade with Condensed Milk (Print-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ 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
# Step-by-Step Directions:
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.
