We have recently gotten in the habit of going around the table at dinnertime and sharing what we are grateful for. Last week when I made raspberry lemonade one night and a Brazilian Limeade another night - Joshua said that he was grateful for how good they were!I am indebted to my lovely sister for the recipes, they will definitely become Summer favorites in our house!
Raspberry Lemonade
2 c. Lemon juice (approx. 12 lemons)
2 c. Sugar
9 c. Water
1 c. Raspberries
Puree raspberries and then add remaining ingredients to blender.
I decided that I was too lazy to juice the lemons, so I just peeled them with a knife and threw them in the blender and strained out the pulp and seeds when I was done!
Brazilian Limeade
2 limes
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
3 cups water
ice
Wash limes thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice into eight wedges. Place limes in a blender with the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, water, and ice. Blend in an electric blender, pulsing 5 times. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove rinds. Serve over ice.
As a side note: I didn't have sweetened condensed milk in the house and found a recipe for making my own here. It worked great in this recipe.
