- 4 fresh limes, quartered (with peel)

- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup sparkling water (optional for fizz)
- Sugar to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Place the quartered limes and cold water in a blender. Pulse 3-4 times to release the lime flavor but avoid over-blending to prevent bitterness from the peel.

- Add ice cubes and sweetened condensed milk to the pitcher. Stir well until combined.
- If desired, add sparkling water for a fizzy twist. Adjust sweetness with sugar if needed.

Notes
- Do not over-blend the limes to avoid bitterness from the white pith.
- You can substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut milk and sugar for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust sweetness to your taste preference.
