Milk Lemonade Mint (Printable Version)
This creamy lemonade blends cold milk, zippy mint, and real lemon for an icy drink you'll love on a warm day.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
Lemon slices for topping (if you want)
02 -
Ice cubes, toss in as much as you like
03 -
Extra mint for topping
04 -
15 g fresh mint (grab a small bunch)
05 -
950 ml chilled water
06 -
240 ml sweetened condensed milk
07 -
240 ml lemon juice squeezed fresh (about 4 to 6 lemons)
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Scoop some ice into your glasses. Pour in the cold lemonade, then add a slice of lemon and a few mint leaves on top.
02 -
Let your lemonade hang out in the fridge for half an hour, so it all comes together nicely.
03 -
Take a sip and see how it tastes. Want it sweeter? Pour in a little more condensed milk and stir it up.
04 -
Toss in the mint leaves. Press them gently against the side of the jug with the back of a spoon or a muddler, so the mint flavor really comes out. Give it a stir.
05 -
While you’re stirring, pour in the cold water. Keep mixing so everything is spread out evenly.
06 -
Dump the condensed milk into a big jug, then add your strained lemon juice. Whisk until there’s no separation and it looks creamy.
07 -
Squeeze out about 240 ml from your lemons. Use a sieve to catch any seeds or bits so you end up with smooth juice.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If you don't want dairy, try coconut condensed milk instead.
02 -
If it's too sour or too sweet, play around with how much lemon or milk you use to get it just how you like.
