Ingredients
4–5 large limes (Persian or Key limes recommended)
1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
4 cups (approx. 1 liter) chilled water
2 cups ice cubes (plus more for serving)
1 tbsp lime zest (optional, for freshness)
Instructions
Juice 4-5 limes, reserving both juice and finely grated zest.
In a blender, combine lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and water.
Blend until smooth, then add 2 cups ice cubes and puree until slushy.
Strain into glasses filled with additional ice. Garnish with lime zest.
Serve immediately with optional extra lime zest or mint for presentation.
Notes
Use filtered water for best flavor.
Meyer lemons or kaffir limes can enhance citrus aroma.
For dairy-free, substitute condensed milk with coconut condensed milk.
Store unused lime peels in a sealed container for later zest use.
Chill limeade in the fridge for 30 minutes if not serving immediately.
