Brazilian lemonade, also known as limonada suíça, is a popular drink in Brazil that is made with limes, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and water. The drink is known for its sweet and tangy flavor, as well as its creamy texture. While the origins of the drink are unclear, many believe that it was created during World War II when fresh milk was scarce in Brazil. As a result, people began adding sweetened condensed milk to their lemonade to give it a creamy flavor.

Instructions

1.	Rinse the limes well and remove the ends.
2.	Cut the limes into small pieces, removing the seeds.
3.	Add the lime pieces, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk to a blender and pulse until the limes are well-blended.
4.	Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, using a spoon to push the liquid through.
5.	Add water and stir well.
6.	Serve with ice and enjoy!
