# Instructions:
01 -
Pop some ice cubes into glasses, pour in the nice cold lemonade, then toss in a little extra mint and some lemon rounds if you want to make it look fancy.
02 -
Let the lemonade hang out in the fridge for at least half an hour so the flavors come together and everything's good and cold.
03 -
Give the drink a taste. If you want it sweeter, just mix in a bit more condensed milk till it tastes right for you.
04 -
Chuck in the mint leaves and use the back of a spoon or a muddler to gently press them, getting the flavors out, then give things a quick stir.
05 -
Pour in all the cold water, adding it little by little while you keep stirring so everything mixes smoothly.
06 -
Grab your big pitcher and stir the strained lemon juice together with the condensed milk until it looks smooth and creamy.
07 -
Roll the lemons, squeeze out enough juice for 240 ml, and strain it to keep seeds and bits out so it’s nice and silky.
# Notes:
01 -
You can swap in coconut condensed milk if you want to skip regular dairy.
02 -
Play around with the amount of condensed milk or lemon juice if you like it more tangy or sweet.
