- Prepare blender for next blend: Rinse out the blender thoroughly. Pour the strained lime juice mixture back into the blender.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and blend: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the strained liquid and blend again until the mixture becomes smooth and frothy.
- Serve: Fill glasses with ice and pour the Brazilian lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh lime slices if desired and serve immediately.
Notes

- Use fresh, firm limes for the best flavor and acidity.
