Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups cold water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 limes, washed
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1/8 teaspoon coconut flavoring (optional)
Instructions
- Add liquids to blender: Place the cold water into a blender, then add the sugar and coconut flavoring if using.
- Add sweetened condensed milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the blender along with the other ingredients.
- Prepare the limes: Wash the limes thoroughly with soap and water, then rinse well. Cut off the ends of the limes and slice each lime into approximately 18 small pieces.
- Blend the mixture: Add the lime pieces to the blender and blend the mixture for about 20 seconds to combine and slightly crush the limes.
- Strain the mixture: Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl or pitcher and pour the blended mixture through the strainer to remove the pulp, ensuring a smooth drink.
- Serve: Pour the strained lemonade into 2-4 glasses. Add ice according to your preference and serve immediately.
- Taste adjustment: If the drink tastes too bitter due to the lime pulp, add more sweetened condensed milk to balance the flavor.
Notes
- To reduce bitterness, ensure limes are cut into small pieces and adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to taste.
- Use fresh, cold water and serve immediately for the best flavor and refreshment.
- Optional coconut flavoring enhances the tropical taste but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Wash limes thoroughly to remove any wax or pesticides before using.
