Ingredients:
- 4 Large Persian Limes (thin-skinned and seedless)
- 4 cups cold filtered water
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 0.5 cup light sweetened condensed milk
Instructions:
- Prep the limes. Scrub the 4 Persian Limes thoroughly under cold water. Slice off the stem ends and cut each lime into eight wedges. Note: Smaller pieces allow for a faster extraction with less blending time.
- Load the blender. Place the lime wedges, 4 cups cold filtered water, and 2 cups ice cubes into a high powered blender.
- Pulse with precision. Use the pulse setting for exactly 10 seconds until the water turns a cloudy, pale green and the limes are broken but not pulverized.
- Strain the base. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher. Use a spoon to press down on the solids to extract every drop of liquid. Discard the spent lime pieces.
- Rinse the jar. Quickly rinse the blender jar to remove any stray bits of pulp or skin.
- Return and sweeten. Pour the strained lime water back into the blender and add the 0.5 cup light sweetened condensed milk.
- Emulsify the mixture. Blend on high for 15-20 seconds until a thick, velvety foam forms on the surface.
- Final smell check. Lift the lid; it should smell like a fresh lime grove mixed with sweet cream, without any harsh floor cleaner chemical notes.
- Serve immediately. Pour into glasses filled with fresh ice and garnish with a thin lime wheel.
