I Tried Making Creamy Strawberry Lemonade (and Spoiler: It’s So Refreshing)

After I observed this “creamy lemonade” circulating on TikTok, I used to be instantly due to the sweetened condensed milk addition. I’ve solely tried sweetened condensed milk in iced espresso/tea drinks (like Thai iced tea or horchata), so a fruity software was extraordinarily intriguing to me. Including sweetened condensed milk to citrus drinks is nothing new — Brazilian lemonade requires it, together with loads of limes — however I’m clearly late to the condensed milk and citrus celebration, as a result of I’ve by no means tried something prefer it, so I knew I needed to style it.  

Making “creamy lemonade” couldn’t be any simpler. First, add some ice and the juice of 5 to six massive lemons right into a pitcher together with some lemon slices. Then, quarter a number of strawberries and juice these into the pitcher, including the mashed strawberries to the pitcher after they’ve been pressed. Subsequent, add about 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Fill the pitcher with some chilly water and provides all the things stir. Congrats! You’ve made creamy *strawberry* lemonade.

Did I truly assume that sweetened condensed milk was going to let me down? In fact not. It by no means has, so I didn’t count on it to begin now. This lemonade was so scrumptious and refreshing. The sweetened condensed milk added a refined thickness and naturally, creaminess, which was tremendous tasty. I beloved the addition of recent strawberries, not solely due to the refined pink hue that it gave the drink, however the strawberries additionally imparted an additional fruity sweetness to the entire beverage. I might completely make this for any summer time get-together or seashore hangs. Frankly, I wouldn’t be mad at a spiked model of this, both — I believe vodka or white rum would each be nice.
