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 wax from the skin.
Step 2
Cut the limes into quarters, keeping the peel on.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the quartered limes, cold water, and granulated sugar.
Step 4
Pulse the blender 5 to 7 times, just enough to extract the juices without over-blending, which could make the drink bitter.
Step 5
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, discarding the lime peels and pulp.
Step 6
Return the strained liquid to the blender and add the sweetened condensed milk and ice cubes.
Step 7
Blend until smooth and frothy.
Step 8
Taste and adjust sweetness or creaminess as desired by adding more sugar or sweetened condensed milk.
Step 9
Serve immediately in glasses over more ice if preferred.
