Creamy Frozen Lemonade

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 large lemons)

  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk (adjust for desired sweetness)

  • 2 cups ice cubes

  • 1 cup cold water

  • Garnish: Fresh mint leaves and lemon slices (as seen in your photo)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Lemons: Juice your lemons until you have 1 cup of liquid. For an extra punch of flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the blender.

  2. Blend: Combine the lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk, water, and ice in a high-speed blender.

  3. Liquify: Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy. It should have a pale, creamy white color.

  4. Taste Test: Give it a quick sip. If you want it sweeter, add a tablespoon more of condensed milk; if it’s too thick, add a splash of water and pulse again.

  5. Serve: Pour immediately into glasses.

  6. Style: To match the photo, garnish with a thin lemon wheel on the rim and a sprig of fresh mint tucked right into the froth. Don’t forget the yellow-striped straw!

Tips for the Perfect Texture

  • Consistency: For a “frosty” texture like the image, use more ice. For a thinner drink, use more water.

  • Dairy-Free: You can swap the sweetened condensed milk for sweetened condensed coconut milk—it tastes amazing with lemon.

  • The Mint: If you love mint, you can blend a few leaves directly into the drink for a “Frozen Mint Lemonade” (popular in the Middle East).
