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 residue. Cut the ends off, then slice each lime into eighths.
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.
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.
Return the strained lime juice to the blender and add the sweetened condensed milk. Blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and the drink is frothy.
Pour the lemonade into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a lime wedge or mint sprig if desired.
