Brazilian Limeade


2 limes
3 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups water
1-2 trays of ice

Cut off the ends of your limes and then cut each into 6 pieces. Place limes, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and water in a blender. Blend for about 20 seconds. Place through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing down to get all the liquid out. Discard lime pulp. Return liquid to blender with ice. Blend desired consistency. Serve.

Makes 4 servings (or 2 of those glasses pictured plus a little leftover).

Tips:
When blending it with the ice, I like to do it in 2 batches, I have less overflowing (and therefore wasted) juice. If you want a slushy type drink, or if you want to stretch your drink a little further - use 2 trays of ice. If you want a nice cold drink - just do one. (Pictured is one.) If you want to make this ahead, prepare your juice and then blend with ice just before serving.
