Ingredients
Method
Step 1.
- Wash the limes well. Cut off both ends. Slice each lime into quarters.
Step 2.
- Add half of the lime pieces to the blender with 1½ cups cold water.
Step 3.
- Blend for 10–15 seconds only. Over-blending can turn the drink bitter.
Step 4.
- Strain the mixture into a bowl or pitcher to remove pulp and peel bits.
Step 5.
- Pour the strained lime juice back into the blender.
Step 6.
- Add remaining water, sweetened condensed milk, and ice.
Step 7.
- Blend again until smooth and frothy.
Step 8.
- Taste and adjust with more condensed milk if you like it sweeter.
Step 9.
- Serve right away for the best texture and flavor.
Tip from my kitchen: Short blending time keeps the lime peel from overpowering the drink.
Notes
1. Do not over-blend the limes.
2. Use chilled ingredients for best taste.
3. Adjust condensed milk to control sweetness.
4. Straining keeps the drink smooth.
