Seriously: Watch the quarters flow.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is Brazilian lemonade?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In Brazil, this refreshing drink is called limonada su\u00ed\u00e7a, which is Portuguese for Swiss lemonade. And although this beverage doesn\u2019t have Swiss roots, some say it\u2019s been dubbed after the country due to the addition of condensed milk (which was originally imported to Brazil from Europe). Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tastingtable.com\/1269366\/brazilian-lemonade-made-with-limes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tastingtable.com\/1269366\/brazilian-lemonade-made-with-limes\/\">others attribute the name to the original creator<\/a>, who may have had Swiss ties. While both theories are still up for debate, one thing\u2019s for certain: Folks love drinking this drink.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-make-brazilian-lemonade\/\" current-title=\"This 2-Ingredient Brazilian-Inspired Lemonade Is Bound To Be Your Hydrating Main Squeeze All Summer Long\" current-image=\"how-to-make-Brazilian-lemonade-in-a-cup.png\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-12-03\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-make-brazilian-lemonade\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-make-brazilian-lemonade\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-make-brazilian-lemonade\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There&#8217;s little not to love about Brazilian lemonade. It\u2019s a simple combination of lime (peel included), ice cubes, water, and sweetened condensed milk that comes together to make a sweet, tangy, and tart drink that\u2019s arguably better than storebought plain ol\u2019 lemonade. <em>Swoon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this isn\u2019t the only lime-forward drink Brazilians pride themselves on. Another wildly popular staple is the caipirinha, Brazil\u2019s national drink that\u2019s made with cacha\u00e7a (a spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice), sugar, and lime. Think mojito vibes. Either way, mocktail or cocktail, it\u2019s safe to say that lime might just be the new lemon in lemonade.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@carolinagelen\/video\/7216866615546121499\" data-video-id=\"7216866615546121499\">\n<section><a title=\"@carolinagelen\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@carolinagelen?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@carolinagelen?refer=embed\">@carolinagelen<\/a> delicious brazilian lemonade aka swiss lemonade <a title=\"lemonade\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/lemonade?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/lemonade?refer=embed\">#lemonade<\/a> <a title=\"recipe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/recipe?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/recipe?refer=embed\">#recipe<\/a> <a title=\"\u266c Sunday - HNNY\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Sunday-6730315527257851905?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Sunday-6730315527257851905?refer=embed\">\u266c Sunday &#8211; HNNY<\/a><\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>How to make Brazilian lemonade<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@carolinagelen\/video\/7216866615546121499\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@carolinagelen\/video\/7216866615546121499\">recent TikTok video<\/a> (that\u2019s garnered over six million views in the last month) by recipe developer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@carolinagelen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@carolinagelen\">Carolina Gelen<\/a> was what initially brought this Brazilian drink into the limelight (pun intended) on social media. Since then, folks have been recreating the drink at home with tons of positive feedback, including proud Brazilians sharing their personal ties to the drink, with comments along the lines of \u201cgrowing up in Brazil, this was always the best afternoon treat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To make it, Gelen starts by slicing five cleaned limes into quarters and adding them to a blender. Then, she adds enough water to cover the lime wedges and blends them together. Pro tip: Gelen cautions against over-blending it, which can result in bitterness from over-extracting the naringin, a flavonoid found in the peel, pith, and membranes of limes that can impart a bitter flavor. That said, to share the two sides of the same coin, research shows that naringin has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4085189\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4085189\/\">strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties<\/a>. So, a little extra blending might not be so bad after all.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on. Once the mixture is blended, Gelen strains it using a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lime peels. In the empty blender, she adds the lime water, a can of sweetened condensed milk, and a quart container\u2019s worth of ice cubes. Gelen blends the mixture until completely smooth and milky. The result is a super-hydrating, tangy, and sweet beverage packed with potassium, folate, calcium, thiamin, niacin, and vitamin B6, in addition to vitamin C (to name a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/lemon-lime-water\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/lemon-lime-water\/\">lime benefits<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>That said, although the drink tastes great according to Gelen\u2019s recipe, some folks have offered their own suggestions. According to TikTok user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nickbeliz21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nickbeliz21\">@nickbeliz21<\/a>, they say \u201cI\u2019m Brazilian, and my dad used to do that at home a lot, to better results take the skin off.\u201d Other folks claim that using only a little zest along with peeled limes is undoubtedly the way to go. Meanwhile, some have swapped out the sweetened condensed milk with sweetened coconut condensed milk for a delicious vegan version.<\/p>\n<p>All to say: When life gives you lemons, consider using limes to make Brazilian lemonade instead.<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn how to make zero-waste lemon popsicles just in time for summer:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zero-waste Lemon Popsicle Recipe | Alt-Baking Bootcamp | Well+Good\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sRcSsnFMKUg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some things in life seem to always stand the test of time, like a good pair of worn-out Converse high tops or your grandma\u2019s Le Creuset Dutch oven.
