Description
The best creamy lemonade made in a blender in just 5 minutes! This easy recipe uses condensed milk to create a perfectly sweet, tart, and frothy drink.
Ingredients
- 2 medium thin-skinned lemons
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups cold water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (optional)
- A few cups of ice for serving
Instructions
1. Wash lemons well. Trim off the ends and cut each lemon into eight small wedges.
2. Place the lemon wedges and 4 cups of cold water into a blender. Pulse 5 to 7 times just to break up the lemons. Do not over-blend.
3. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing on the pulp to extract all the liquid. Discard the pulp.
4. Rinse the blender, then pour the strained lemon water back into it. Add the sweetened condensed milk and optional sugar.
5. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the lemonade is pale and frothy.
6. Fill serving glasses with ice and pour the creamy lemonade over top.
7. Garnish with a lemon slice and serve immediately.
Notes
For the best taste, do not over-blend the lemons, as this can release bitterness from the pith. Serve immediately, as the drink can separate if it sits for too long. Variations: Swap lemons for 4-5 limes for a Creamy Limeade, or add 1 cup of strawberries for a Strawberry Creamy Lemonade.
