Ingredients
- 4 whole fresh limes
- 4 cups cold water
- 0.5 cups sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Wash the limes thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue.
Step 2
Cut the limes into quarters, leaving the peel on.
Step 3
In a blender, add the quartered limes, cold water, sweetened condensed milk, and granulated sugar.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed for 10–15 seconds to extract the flavor of the limes without over-blending and causing bitterness from the peel.
Step 5
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher and pour the mixture through it to remove the lime pulp and peel. Use a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible.
Step 6
Discard the leftover pulp and peel from the strainer.
Step 7
Add the ice cubes to the strained lemonade and stir well.
Step 8
Serve immediately in glasses. Garnish with lime slices or mint leaves, if desired.
