Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Lime slices and mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the coconut milk, fresh lime juice, sugar, cold water, and ice cubes together to prepare the base of the limeade.
- Blend: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy, ensuring the sugar dissolves fully and the ice is well crushed.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the limeade and add more sugar if desired, blending briefly again to mix.
- Serve: Pour the frothy limeade into glasses carefully.
- Garnish and enjoy: Optionally, garnish each glass with lime slices and mint leaves for an added fresh aroma and presentation. Serve immediately while cold and frothy.
Notes
- Use unsweetened coconut milk to control sweetness levels better.
- Fresh lime juice provides the best flavor compared to bottled lime juice.
- Adjust the amount of sugar based on your preferred sweetness or substitute with honey or a sugar alternative for a healthier twist.
- For a creamier texture, you can add a little more coconut milk or reduce the water content.
- This drink is best consumed immediately to enjoy its fresh frothy texture.
