Ingredients
  

Base
  • 6 cups cold, filtered water Essential for blending; using filtered or purified water enhances taste.
  • 4 whole limes Provides that signature tartness; use whole wedges for optimal blending.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar Sweetens the mix; adjust based on preferred sweetness.
Creaminess
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk Adds creamy richness and sweetness; no substitutes for this flavor.
For Serving
  • ice Optional but recommended for serving.

Equipment

  • blender
  • fine-mesh strainer
  • large bowl or pitcher

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine 6 cups of cold, filtered water, 4 whole lime wedges, and ½ cup of granulated sugar. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until smooth and vibrant green.
  2. Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour in the blended mixture. Allow it to strain for 2-3 minutes to remove the pulp.
  3. Discard the pulp, rinse the blender, and return the strained liquid. Add ¼ cup of sweetened condensed milk and blend again for 30 seconds until frothy.
  4. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the creamy mixture over it.
  5. Garnish with a slice of lime on the rim and serve immediately.
