Brazilian Lemonade

Great for a hot summer's day.

Ingredients:
4 juicy limes (washed with soap thoroughly. choose ones with a thinner, smooth skin.), cut ends off and cut into 8ths
6 cups of cold water
1 cup of sugar
6 tblsps of sweetened condensed milk

Mix the cold water and the sugar together well and put into the refrigerator to chill until ready to use.
Place half the limes into the blender along with half the sugar water mixture. Cover and pulse 5 times.
Place a fine mesh strainer over the serving pitcher and pour the contents of the blender in. Use a spoon to press the rest of the liquid into the pitcher. Dump the pulp out. Repeat the process with the other half of limes and sugar water.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the pitcher and mix well.
Test taste it. If its too bitter (tends to happen if you use thick skinned limes), add more sugar or sweetened condensed milk.
Serve immediately over ice. It doesn't keep well, so be sure to drink it all within 24 hours.

Serves 4...but I say it only serves two. If you are serving more than two guests, I recommend doubling the recipe, at least. It's good. Be prepared to pee once every hour.
