Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh limes
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Cold water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the limes thoroughly to remove any residue or wax from the skin.
Slice each lime into quarters, leaving the skin on.
In a blender, combine the quartered limes, cold water, and granulated sugar.
Pulse the blender 5-6 times for a couple of seconds each time. Avoid over-blending to prevent the lime rinds from making the drink bitter.
Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the lime pulp and rind. Press gently with a spoon to extract maximum juice but avoid pressing too hard to keep the bitterness out.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the strained limeade and stir well until fully incorporated.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the limeade over the ice.
Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, refreshing drink!
