Light and refreshing, this Brazilian lemonade will cool you down on a hot summer's day. Despite the name, there are no lemons in this lemonade, due to the prevalence of limes in Brazil and the scarcity of lemons. In fact, the Portuguese word for lemonade is limonada, which refers to limes. This non-alcoholic drink is creamy and frothy and bursting with bright lime flavor. The sweetness can be adjusted by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk.
