- 200 g sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 L water (cold)
- ice cubes
- lime slices (for garnish (optional))

Directions

Wash the limes thoroughly. Cut off both ends, then quarter each lime and remove any visible seeds.

Add the quartered limes, strawberries, and 1.5L cold water to a blender. Blend for no more than 10 seconds to prevent the limes from becoming bitter.

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher or bowl. Press gently to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the pulp and seeds.

Pour the strained mixture back into the blender. Add the sweetened condensed milk and sugar, then blend until smooth and creamy.
