Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh limes
- 4 cups Cold water
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the limes thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax from the skin.
Cut the limes into quarters, keeping the peel on.
In a blender, combine the quartered limes, cold water, and granulated sugar.
Pulse the blender 5 to 7 times, just enough to extract the juices without over-blending, which could make the drink bitter.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, discarding the lime peels and pulp.
Return the strained liquid to the blender and add the sweetened condensed milk and ice cubes.
Blend until smooth and frothy.
Taste and adjust sweetness or creaminess as desired by adding more sugar or sweetened condensed milk.
Serve immediately in glasses over more ice if preferred.
