THE BIG SECRET IN THIS BRAZILIAN LEMONADE RECIPE

For this recipe you are going to be blending limes with all the skin on them! Yes, you heard me right! I know that some people hate the idea of blending a whole lime with the skin on. But there is nothing to be worried about about the lemonade becoming bitter. The secret here is how long to blend the limes! The longer you blend, the bitterer they’ll become shortly after they’re blended. Blend the limes for just about 10-15 seconds an you are good to go. There really is no need to blend them longer than this.
