Brazilian Limeade - Like Rodizio
"This is just like the limeade at Rodizio Grill, a brazilian restaurant here in Salt Lake City. It is very refreshing and tangy."

This is certainly different from my usual lime or lemonade, but much enjoyed! Thanks! Made for Pick a Chef, spring 2014. -
Not like any limeade I've ever had, but definitely delicious & well-worth making again! I look forward to making this when our weather really, really heats up, & seeing as how I live in the dessert, that's not a problem! Many thanks for sharing this great recipe!

I worked at Rodizio Grill for over a year. This is our recipient down to the exact details. Get a big blender that has the once’s marked on it. Cut up three limes into halves. Only 2.5 limes will go in. Add a cup of sugar, and then a cup of half and half cream. Add twelve ounces of ice, equal to one restaurant scoop of ice, and fill the rest with water up to the 60 oz mark. Blend together and then use something to collect the pulp out. This is the recipe that all Rodizio Grills use.
