• 4 cups cold water
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Limes: Wash the limes thoroughly under running water to remove any pesticides or dirt. Cut off the ends of each lime and then cut them into quarters. There’s no need to peel them, as the skin contributes to the overall flavor.

4. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Once the lime juice is collected, stir in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined. This will give the lemonade a creamy texture and enhance the sweetness.
