4 large Limes (washed and wedged)

4 cups Cold Water

1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk

2 tbsp Sugar (optional)

2 cups Ice Cubes

Blender A high-speed blender (like a Vitamix or Ninja) is best for that frothy texture.
Fine Mesh Strainer: Essential to remove the lime pulp and zest after the first pulse.
Large Pitcher To hold and serve the lemonade.
Sharp Knife For clean cuts of the limes.
Cutting Board To safely slice the limes
Measuring Cups For precise measurement of the water and condensed milk.

Instructions (Step-by-Step)

Prepare: Cut the ends off the limes and slice into 8 wedges each.

Pulse: Combine limes, water, and sugar in a blender. Pulse 5-8 times (do not over-blend).

Strain: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher; discard the solids.

Creamy Blend: Return the juice to the blender with condensed milk and ice. Blend until frothy.

Serve: Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

For the best taste, serve immediately to avoid any bitterness from the lime zest.
