Can I make Brazilian lemonade ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare Brazilian lemonade a few hours ahead of time. However, for the best flavor, it is recommended to consume it fresh. If you must store it, keep the strained liquid in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day.

Is Brazilian lemonade healthy?

Brazilian lemonade contains fresh limes and condensed milk, which can provide various vitamins and minerals. While it is relatively calorie-dense due to the condensed milk, enjoying it in moderation can be a part of a balanced diet.

What can I use instead of condensed milk?

If you're looking for a lighter option, coconut milk or almond milk can be substituted. Alternatively, you can blend cashews with water for a homemade creamy consistency.

How can I adjust the sweetness of Brazilian lemonade?

To adjust sweetness, add more or less sugar syrup based on your preference. You can also try using honey or agave syrup for a different flavor.

What are some fruit pairing ideas for the lemonade?

Mixed fruit skewers such as strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi can make a delightful pairing. Alternatively, serving with a tropical fruit salad can enhance the refreshing experience.
