Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 cups cold water
- 4 limes (pick ones with thin, smooth skins; they’re the juiciest)
- 6 Tbsp. sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- In a pitcher, combine the cold water and sugar very well and chill until ready to use. You can even do this ahead of time.
- Wash limes thoroughly with water and a little liquid dish soap. The soap is needed to get the wax and pesticides off of the limes.
- Cut the ends off of each lime and cut each lime into 8ths. Place 1/2 of the limes in a blender.
- Add 1/2 of the sugar water,to the blender. Cover and pulse 5 times.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over another pitcher and pour the blended mixture through the strainer and into the pitcher. Use a spoon to press the mixture to get all of the liquid into the pitcher. Dispose of what is left in the strainer. Repeat with remaining limes and sugar water.
- Add sweetened condensed milk to the mixture and stir to combine. Taste the drink and add more sugar if needed.
- Serve immediately over ice. Serves 4.
