# Steps:
01 -
Wash and halve the lemons. Extract 240 ml of juice using a citrus juicer for efficiency. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to achieve a pulp-free consistency.
02 -
In a large pitcher, combine the strained lemon juice with granulated sugar. Stir vigorously until all sugar granules are fully dissolved.
03 -
Add cold water to the pitcher and stir to incorporate, tasting the mixture to adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more sugar or lemon juice if necessary.
04 -
In a pre-chilled mixing bowl, pour heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, whip the cream until soft peaks form, approximately 2–3 minutes.
05 -
Lower the mixer speed and add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Beat until well-integrated and thickened. Gradually mix in pink food coloring until desired hue is achieved.
06 -
Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the prepared lemonade using a spatula, being careful to maintain volume and texture.
07 -
Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
08 -
Fill tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour the whipped pink lemonade over the ice, filling each glass approximately three-quarters full.
09 -
Optionally, top each glass with an extra dollop of reserved whipped cream mixture. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Adjust sugar or pink food coloring to taste for preferred sweetness and presentation.
02 -
For optimal results, chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream.
03 -
The beverage is best served immediately but may be refrigerated briefly.
