1 cup sugar
6 cups cold water
4 juicy limes, smooth, thin skinned limes are the juicest and least bitter
6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
1. Mix Cold water and sugar very well and chill until ready to use. This step can be done ahead of time
2. Wash limes throughly with soap (just use hand-dishwashing soap or regular soap to get the wax and petsicides off the limes because you're using the whole lime. Cut the ends of the limes and then cut each lime into eights
3. Place half of the limes in your blender. Add half of the sugar water place the lid on your blender and pulse 5 times
4. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher and pour the blended mixture through the strainer into the trash. Repeat with remaining limes and sugar water
5. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk
6. Serve immediatly over lots of ice This does not keep well, so while you can mix the sugar and water ahead of time and slice the limes, don't mix them in the blender until you are ready to serve.
This was very easy to mix in the blender and go pulsing pulsing (Mary Crafts) It was simple to make even if it sounds complicated. It goes great served with lots of ice.
