Scale
For the Lemonade
- 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 the Lemons: Wash the lemons thoroughly and slice them in half to get ready for juicing.
- Extract the Juice: Use a citrus juicer to squeeze the lemon halves and collect 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, removing any seeds.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the fresh lemon juice, full-fat coconut milk, granulated sugar, and ice cubes. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

- Serve and Garnish: Pour the whipped frozen lemonade into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices for an attractive and aromatic finish. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your preferred level of sweetness or use a sugar substitute for a healthier option.
- Using full-fat coconut milk provides a rich and creamy texture but can be substituted with light coconut milk for a lower-fat version.
- To make it vegan and dairy-free, coconut milk is an excellent alternative to traditional dairy cream.
- This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy its frothy texture.
- Adding a pinch of salt can help balance the flavors if desired.
