  2. Hahahaha! I love these! Thanks for being so punny! :) BTW, I've since put a link to the Brazilian lemonade recipe on my last post. Just in case that doesn't work, here is the recipe:

    2 limes
    1/2 c sugar
    3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
    3 c water
    ice

    1. Wash limes. Cut off ends and slices into eight wedges.
    2. Place limes in blender with sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and water.
    3. Blend together, pulsing 5 times.
    4. Strain to remove rinds.
    5. Serve over ice!

    Makes 3 tall glasses. Enjoy!
