Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4-5 pieces juicy limes Depending on size and juiciness, aim for about 1 cup of juice.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adjust based on your sweetness preference.
  • 4 cups cold water Use cold water to maintain the drink's refreshing quality.
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk Adds creaminess to the drink.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the limes thoroughly under cold water. Cut them in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand. Aim for about 1 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice.
  2. In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice and granulated sugar. Stir the mixture well until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Pour in the four cups of cold water. Stir again to ensure everything is evenly combined. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, feel free to add less water.
  4. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until it's well blended and the texture is smooth.
  5. Let the limeade chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors. Serve it over ice in your favorite glasses, garnished with lime slices or mint leaves if desired.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of sugar or sweetened condensed milk to your taste. Using fresh limes is recommended for the best flavor.
