Brazilian Lemonade

1 C. sugar
6 C. cold water
4 juicy limes (pick thin skinned, smooth ones)
6 Tbsp. 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 thoroughly with soap (use hand or dish soap). Soap gets off all the wax and pesticides 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, place the lid on your blender and pulse 5 times.

4. Place a fine-mesh strainer over pitcher 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 into the trash. Repeat with remaining limes and sugar water.

5. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk

6. Serve immediately over lots of ice.

*This does not keep well, so cut the limes, and mix the sugar water ahead of time, but do not blend until you are ready to serve.
