Lemonade
Instructions:
- 2 small limes*
- 6 c. water
- 1 c. sugar
- Cut each lime in half, and cut each
- In a blender, combine 3 c. of water with the unpeeled lime segments.
- Process mixture for 2 to 3 seconds. Be careful not to overprocess, as this will give the lemonade a bitter flavor.
- Pour the liquid into a pitcher through a sieve or strainer to remove lime peel and pulp. Add the remaining water and sugar to taste and stir well. Serve fresh, in tall glasses filled with ice.
- *In Brazil lemonade is almost always made with thin-skinned limes rather than lemons, whose thicker skins add bitterness to the flavor of the drink.
- This beverage is just one of many fresh fruit drinks enjoyed throughout Brazil
- Preparation time: 5 minutes
