Amy and Kelby's Brazilian Lemonade

Oh my goodness! This stuff is SO good! I am not a huge fan of limes and this drink made my taste-buds sing, ha ha! Cheers!

Ingredients

1 C Sugar
6 C Cold Water
4 Juicy Limes
6 TBsp sweetened condensed milk

Method:

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 thoroughly with soap (just hand dish-washing soap or regular hand soap can be used) you need the soap to get the wax and pesticides off the limes, because you are using the whole lime. Cut the ends off the limes and then cut each lime into eighths.

3. Place half of the limes in your blender, add half of the sugar water, pace the lid on your blender and pulse 5 or so times.

4. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher (the one you will serve the lemonade in) and pour the blended mixture through the strainer and into the pitcher. Use a spoon to press the rest of the liquid into the pitcher. Dump the pulp and residue from the strainer into the trash. Repeat with remaining limes and sugar water.

5. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk.

6. Server immediately 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. (It gets really bitter)
