What is Brazilian lemonade like?
Brazilian lemonade, or more accurately limeade, is crafted with fresh limes, evident from its vibrant green hue. In Portuguese, we name it “limonada” due to “limão” meaning lime. This versatile lime drink offers various versions, featuring distinct juicing and sweetening techniques. Create limonada with freshly squeezed lime juice or blend whole limes, including the skin, for a unique twist. Sweeten the concoction with sugar, condensed milk, or a delightful fusion of both. A refreshingly simple beverage with endless, enjoyable variations.
