I received a lot of limes for a couple weeks in my Bountiful Baskets, and wasn't sure what to do with them. Then I remembered the most delightful and refreshing drink I had had at a local Brazilian Grill, a Brazilian Lime-Ade. I searched online for a recipe for it, and found that it was a lot simpler than it sounded. All you need is:
2 limes, juiced and zested
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
3 cups water
1-2 cups fruit, fresh or frozen (optional)
At this point, just put the lime juice, lime zest, sugar, milk, water and fruit in a blender, and blend. Then pour and serve. It is so simple, and it is always refreshing. I shared it with my roommates, and they asked almost every day for more.
If you want it sweeter, you can always add more sugar. If you don't want it fruity, you can omit the fruit. I use frozen fruit normally because that is what I have a lot of, and the original recipe called for ice to help chill it. I will drink a glass when I am feeling like a snack, and this seems to tide me over until the next meal.
