Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 fresh limes
- 3 cups cold water
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups ice
Instructions
- Prepare the limes: Wash 6 fresh limes thoroughly and chop each lime into about 8 pieces to ensure they blend smoothly.
- Blend ingredients: In a blender, combine the chopped lime pieces, 3 cups of cold water, and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Blend for a few minutes until the mixture is as smooth as possible.
- Strain the mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp and seeds, resulting in a smooth limeade.
- Serve over ice: Pour the strained limeade into glasses filled with 2 cups of ice and serve immediately chilled.
Notes
- Make sure to wash the limes well to remove any wax or pesticides since the rind is used in the recipe.
- Straining well is essential to avoid a bitter taste from the lime zest or seeds.
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to taste for more or less sweetness.
- Use fresh limes for the best flavor; bottled lime juice will not give the same refreshing result.
