How To Make A Simple Syrup

1. First you want to make a simple syrup – equal parts sugar and water.
2. Heat on your stove top just until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Remove from heat and let cool

Juice Your Limes

1. Next you want to juice your limes.  I don’t have a fancy juicer or citrus juicer, so I use my good ol’ fashion lemon press.
2. You’ll need 8 to 12 limes depending on the size.  You just want to squeeze about a cup and a half of juice.

Tip: If you roll your limes across the counter with a little muscle they will produce more juice.

How To Make Your Brazilian Limeade Base

1. Combine your lime juice, simple syrup and about 5 cups of water in a pitcher.  
2. Stir Until Well Combined

The Secret Ingredient For Brazilian Limeade

Insider Hack

Here’s an insider hack – while I LOVE love love making this from scratch – when I’m in a pinch, sometimes I’ll buy a bottle of Simply Limeade and combine it with a can of sweetened condensed milk.  It produces a similar flavor in a fraction of the time. So on a day when you’re feeling fancy – make it from scratch.  In a hurry – store bought all the way.  I’ve included some links to products used here:
