Description
This easy Creamy Coconut Milk Brazilian Lemonade (Limeade) is such a refreshing drink that is made with just 3 ingredients (plus ice and water)! Tart and tangy limes are blended with coconut milk, then naturally sweetened with maple syrup for a tropical, zesty and creamy beverage perfect to enjoy on hot summer days ☀️.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe lime, thoroughly washed (option to add another lime so buy 2!)
- 4 cups of water
- 1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- Ice, for serving
Instructions
Blender Method (preferred)
If you're making Brazilian Lemonade using the preferred blender method, first wash the lime thoroughly. Next, cut off the ends of the lime, and cut it into wedges. Place the lime, including the peel, in a blender with the water, coconut milk and maple syrup. Blend for about 30 seconds (any longer and the limes get a bit bitter). Strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag (affiliate link), then pour over an ice-filled glass and enjoy right away!
Hand Squeezed Method
If you don’t have a blender, you can still enjoy this citrus beverage. Use 1 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice, stir in the water, coconut milk and maple syrup. Zest 1 lime with a citrus zester into the mixture, stir, pour over ice and enjoy.
