Ingredients
- 3 limes
- 1 quart cold water
- ⅔ of a can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Wash all limes thoroughly.
- Cut just 1 of the limes in half and squeeze out the juice. It should yield approximately 3 tablespoons of juice. Reserve.
- Cut the other 2 limes into 4 wedges (lengthwise) and remove the seeds and pith from the center, with a knife.
- Put the lime wedges in a blender and add the water. Beat for approximately 7 seconds or press the "pulse" button a few times.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove rinds.
- Return the lime juice to the blender and add the condensed milk, reserved lemon juice, ice and sugar. Beat until everything is mixed.
- Serve it chilled.
Notes
If you plan to consume it in more than 5 hours, I suggest you to squeeze all the limes and use only the juice, instead of blending the whole limes.
***
Limes and ice cubes can vary greatly in size (taste buds also vary, right?!😉). So feel free to add more lemon juice, more water or even more sugar, according to your taste. For your reference, the limes I used in this recipe yielded approximately 3 tablespoons of juice each, and the ice cubes were small.
