Ingredients
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 5–8 lemons)
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups ice
- 5 cups cold water
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice and Lemon: Add 4 cups of ice to a 1/2 gallon pitcher and top with the sliced lemon to infuse flavor and keep the lemonade chilled.
- Mix Lemon Juice and Condensed Milk: In a separate pitcher or bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice and one 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy. Then pour this mixture over the ice and lemon slices in the pitcher.
- Add Water and Combine: Pour 5 cups of cold water into the pitcher and stir well to thoroughly combine all ingredients, balancing the tartness and creaminess.
- Serve: Pour into glasses and enjoy the luscious, creamy lemonade immediately for the best refreshing experience.
Notes
- Adjust lemon juice quantity to your preferred tartness level.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice will not provide the same freshness.
- For a less sweet option, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly.
- This recipe requires no cooking, making it fast and convenient.
- Can be garnished with fresh mint leaves or lemon wedges for added visual appeal and flavor.
