60 millilitres sweetened condensed milk, plus more if desired

Combine cold filtered water, lime wedges, and granulated sugar in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the limes are fully processed.

Set a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, extracting as much liquid as possible and discarding the leftover pulp.

Rinse the blender. Return the strained lime mixture to the blender and add sweetened condensed milk. Blend until the drink is creamy and frothy.

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh lime slices if desired.

For optimal flavor, use filtered or purified water. When blending, include entire lime wedges, as the bitterness from the rind enhances depth, but will be removed during straining.
