Creamy Lemonade is a refreshing and tangy drink made by blending fresh lemon juice with sweetened condensed milk, cold water, and ice. This easy-to-make beverage offers a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, ideal for cooling off on a warm day. Garnished with lemon slices and mint leaves, it’s a delightful twist on classic lemonade.

Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice (about 56 lemons squeezed)
  • 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk (7 oz / 200g total)
  • 3 cups cold water

Additional

  • 2 cups ice
  • Lemon slices, for garnish
  • Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Lemon Juice and Condensed Milk: Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to a large pitcher. Slowly drizzle in the sweetened condensed milk while whisking continuously to ensure the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated without lumps.
  2. Add Cold Water: Pour in the cold water and stir well to blend all the ingredients evenly. This will dilute the lemon mixture to the right consistency.
  3. Add Ice and Garnish: Add the ice cubes to the pitcher and mix thoroughly. Serve the creamy lemonade chilled with extra lemon slices and fresh mint leaves if desired to enhance the flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • For a less sweet drink, adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to taste.
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice is key to achieving the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may alter the taste.
  • Mint leaves are optional but add a refreshing aroma and visual appeal.
  • Ensure thorough whisking when combining lemon juice and condensed milk to avoid curdling.
  • This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
