Minty Condensed Lemonade (Print Version)
Sweet-tart lemon, creamy milk, and lively mint—this is one chill summer sip you'll love.
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
950 ml chilled water
02 -
240 ml sweetened condensed milk
03 -
Around 240 ml fresh lemon juice from about 4 to 6 lemons
→ Herbs and Garnish
04 -
A handful (15 g) of fresh mint with some extra for topping
05 -
Ice, as much as you like
06 -
Lemon rounds for topping, if you fancy
# Steps:
01 -
Toss a few ice cubes into your glasses, pour in the cooled lemonade, and top it off with that extra mint and a slice of lemon—totally up to you.
02 -
Pop the pitcher in the fridge for a good half hour so everything gets nice and cold and the flavors settle together.
03 -
Give it a quick taste test. If you want it sweeter, stir in a bit more condensed milk til it hits just right.
04 -
Throw your mint leaves into the mix, press them a little with a spoon or muddler to help the flavor come out, and give everything a gentle stir.
05 -
Keep stirring as you slowly pour in the 950 ml of cold water, making sure the flavors mix well.
06 -
In a big pitcher, whisk together your strained lemon juice and the condensed milk until it all smooths out into one creamy blend.
07 -
Squeeze out about 240 ml of juice from your lemons, then run it through a sieve so you don’t get any seeds or chunky bits.
# Notes:
01 -
You can use coconut condensed milk instead if you want this drink without regular dairy.
02 -
Change up the amount of lemon juice or condensed milk based on how tangy or sweet you want your drink.
