Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh limes
- 4 cups Cold water
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Wash the limes thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue. Cut the ends off, then slice each lime into eighths.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the sliced limes, cold water, and granulated sugar. Pulse the blender 5-7 times, just enough to extract the juice from the lime without turning the rind bitter.
Step 3
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
Step 4
Return the strained lime juice to the blender and add the sweetened condensed milk. Blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and the drink is frothy.
Step 6
Pour the lemonade into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a lime wedge or mint sprig if desired.
