Ingredients

How to Make Condensed Milk Lemonade:

Creating this delicious condensed milk lemonade is incredibly simple and requires no special equipment. The key to perfect condensed milk lemonade lies in the proper mixing technique to ensure the condensed milk integrates smoothly without clumping.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the lemon juice: Roll fresh lemons on a hard surface while pressing down to release more juice. Cut and juice the lemons, straining out any seeds or pulp for the smoothest condensed milk lemonade.
2. Mix the base: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice with the sweetened condensed milk. Whisk vigorously for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and well-combined.
3. Add water gradually: Slowly pour in the cold water while continuing to whisk. This gradual addition prevents the condensed milk from separating and ensures your condensed milk lemonade maintains its creamy consistency.
4. Taste and adjust: Sample your condensed milk lemonade and add simple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Remember that the condensed milk already adds significant sweetness.
5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the condensed milk lemonade for at least 30 minutes. Serve over ice in tall glasses, garnished with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.
