Ingredients
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
4 cups cold water
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
Ice cubes
Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Squeeze the lemons to extract the juice. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp for a smoother texture.
- In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until fully blended and smooth.
- Gradually add the cold water to the pitcher, mixing well to combine everything evenly.
- Add the fresh mint leaves and gently press them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their oils and flavor.
- Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more condensed milk if desired. Mix thoroughly.
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices.
Notes
For a fruity variation, add fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
Infuse your lemonade with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced twist.
