Ingredients
For the Limeade
- 6 Fresh Limes, chopped into pieces for easy blending
- 3 cups Cold Water (adjust based on preferred tartness)
- 1 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk (can substitute with regular milk and sugar if needed)
- Ice (using larger cubes to slow down dilution)
Instructions
- Prepare the limes: Wash 6 fresh limes thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax. Cut each lime into about 8 pieces to facilitate easy blending.
- Blend ingredients: In a powerful blender, combine the chopped lime pieces, 3 cups of cold water, and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Strain the mixture: Using a mesh strainer placed over a bowl or pitcher, pour the blended mixture to remove pulp and lime peels. Use a spatula to press and extract as much liquid as possible, ensuring a smooth juice.
- Serve: Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes and pour the strained limeade over the ice. Garnish with a lime slice or a sprig of mint for a decorative touch. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavor.
Notes
- Adjust water quantity to control tartness.
- Use larger ice cubes to prevent the drink from diluting too quickly.
- Sweetened condensed milk can be replaced with regular milk and sugar, but condensed milk gives the signature creamy sweetness.
- Serve immediately after preparation for best freshness.
