Ingredients
  

Lemon Base
  • 4 fresh lemons quartered, seeds removed if possible
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
Creamy Mixture
  • 4 cups whole milk cold
  • 0.25 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups ice cubes for serving

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • Pitcher
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Wash the lemons thoroughly and cut off the ends. Slice each lemon into quarters.
  2. Place lemon quarters, cold water, and sugar into a blender. Pulse 5-8 times until lemons are chopped and juicy. Do not over-blend to avoid bitterness.
  3. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the pulp to extract all juice. Discard the solids.
  4. Pour the strained lemon juice back into the blender (or mix in pitcher). Add the whole milk and sweetened condensed milk.
  5. Blend on high for 5-10 seconds until the mixture is frothy and well combined.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the creamy lemonade over the ice. Serve immediately.

Notes

Serve immediately as the acidity of the lemon can curdle the milk if left sitting too long.
