Limonada Brasileña (Brazilian Limeade)
By My Colombian Recipes

This recipe by My Colombian Recipes is an amazing a rich colombian dish, perfect for refreshing yourself on a hot summer day. I first tried making it when my family had its annual Colombian dinner with many other families who, like us, have adopted a child from Colombia (in our family, it's my younger sister). All three families adopted from the same orphanage, so the girls are basically like sisters. It's always a fun tradition. This year, it was made even better by the authentic food we choose, such as this limeade.

Buen provecho!
