Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups ice cubes
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh mint leaves
- Lemon slices
Instructions
- Prepare lemons: Wash the lemons thoroughly and slice them in half to get them ready for juicing.
- Extract lemon juice: Use a juicer to squeeze the lemons and collect 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, ensuring no seeds get into the juice.
- Blend ingredients: In a blender, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, full-fat coconut milk, granulated sugar, and ice cubes. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, with no ice chunks remaining.
- Taste and adjust: Conduct a taste test, and if the lemonade is not sweet enough, add more sugar to suit your preference and blend briefly again.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the whipped frozen lemonade into chilled glasses. Garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for an attractive presentation and an added burst of freshness before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar quantity based on your desired sweetness or substitute with a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup.
- For a dairy alternative, full-fat coconut milk adds creaminess and richness to the lemonade.
- Make sure to blend well for a smooth texture without ice chunks.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor; leftover lemonade may separate upon standing.
- For an adult twist, consider adding a splash of rum or vodka.
