Lemonade Deliciousness




It's that time of year for making lemonade. Here are my two favorite recipes:

Crazy Coconut Lemonade



***Note*** Here is the step by step video to see how Ingrid makes it.

In each glass put about 4-6 mint leaves, 2 slices each of lemon and lime, and 2 Tbsp.of sugar. Muddle it (take the end of a wooden spoon and smash it around real good).

In blender mix:

1 cup of Coconut water
2-3 Tbsp.of coconut cream(milk)
2 Tbsp. of lemon juice
2 Tbsp. of lime juice
and ice.

Pour blended mixture in glass and light stir. Add more sugar if you need. Enjoy!!!!!


Tucano's Brazilian Lemonade

4 juicy limes
1 cup sugar
6 c. cold water
6 Tbsp. sweetened condensed milk

Mix water and sugar very well and chill. Wash limes w/soap. Cut off ends, then cut into 8ths. Place 1/2 of limes in blender, add 1/2 of sugar water and pulse 5x. Place a fine mesh strainer over pitcher and pour blended mixture through strainer. Throw out the peel. Add milk. ( I found 6 Tbsp to much, start off with 3) Taste as you go. If bitter use a little more sugar or milk. Serve immedietly.

I have made a recipe si ilar to this brazilian lemonade and it certainly is yummy! I'll have to try that other one, but where do you find coconut water?

Yum...I want to try your version.

You can find coconut water in the international section of your grocery store. In the video I think Ingrid says if you dont have cocnut water, you can use regular water and just add the cream. I've always used both, but it may not be nessesary.
