Notes: 

MAKE IT FRESH
One of my discoveries in testing out a sugar free Brazilian lemonade recipe is that it’s definitely best made fresh. On the first day, it’s perfectly sweet and delicious but the lime continues to get a bit bitter as the drink sits in the fridge for more than 2 days.

If you plan on making this for just yourself, or you and your significant other, just make a half recipe. It’s so ridiculously easy to do, there’s no need to make a big batch.

The condensed milk can be made ahead and stored for up to a week in the fridge, so you can whip it up any old time.

Homemade condensed milk is not nearly as sweet as the conventional version, so you want to add more sweetener to the mix. I found that another ⅓ cup of powdered Swerve was about right, but you can easily do this to taste.

STRAIN OUT THE SOLIDS

Obviously you don’t want chunks of lime floating around your lemonade. So grab a strainer and set it over the serving pitcher, then pour the blended mixture through the strainer. Add the remaining water, plenty of ice, and you are done!

KETO CONDENSED MILK

You do need to make a batch of my keto condensed milk ahead of time, but that in itself is incredibly easy to do. You can even make the milk ahead and store it in the fridge for a few days, prior to whipping up the Brazilian Lemonade.

SWEETEN TO TASTE

My homemade condensed milk is not nearly as sweet as the conventional version, so you want to add more sweetener to the mix. I found that another ⅓ cup of powdered Swerve was about right, but you can easily do this to taste.
