Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Here is a handy recipe for sweetened condensed milk. Lately I like to drizzle this on fruit (especially strawberries) or make Brazilian Lemonade.

Sweetened Condensed Milk


1 cup THRIVE instant milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon THRIVE butter powder
1/2 cup water

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Yield: about 1 1/2 cups.


Brazilian Lemonade


4 juicy limes
1 cup sugar
6 cups cold water
6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

Mix cold water and sugar very well and chill until ready to use. (This step can be done ahead of time.)

Wash limes thoroughly. Cut the ends off the limes and then cut each lime into 8ths.

Place 1/2 of the limes in a blender and add 1/2 of the sugar water. Place the lid on the blender and pulse 5 times. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher (the one you'll serve the lemonade in) and pour the blended mixture through the strainer and into the pitcher. Use a spoon to press the rest of the liquid into the pitcher. Dump the pulp from the strainer into the trash. Repeat with remaining limes and sugar water. Add sweetened condensed milk.

Taste test the lemonade. If it is bitter, add some more sugar and maybe a little more sweetened condensed milk. Serve immediately over lots of ice. This does not keep well so you'll want to drink it all right away, which shouldn't be a problem because it's so yummy! Yield: 4 servings.
