# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 cups (480 ml) chilled water
02 -
1 cup (305 g) sweetened condensed milk
03 -
1 cup (240 ml) lemon juice, freshly squeezed and strained
→ Optional Sweetener
04 -
About 60 ml of simple syrup if you want things sweeter (totally up to you)
→ To Serve
05 -
Ice cubes to fill your glasses
06 -
A few fresh mint sprigs for topping
07 -
Lemon rounds, tossed in for looks
# Instructions:
01 -
Add a lemon slice and a couple mint leaves to each glass. Give everything a quick stir with a straw so the flavors blend in nicely.
02 -
Pile some ice cubes into tall glasses. Pour your cold lemon drink on top of the ice.
03 -
Pop the pitcher in the fridge for half an hour if you have time, so it gets nice and cold. If you can't wait, just move on to pouring.
04 -
Slowly add cold water while stirring everything together. Have a sip—if it needs to be sweeter, add a splash of syrup until it tastes right to you.
05 -
Pour the strained lemon juice and condensed milk into a big pitcher. Whisk it up really well until the two are totally blended and silky smooth.
06 -
Roll your lemons on the counter to loosen them up, then cut each in half and squeeze until you get up to 240 ml. Strain out any seeds or pulp you see.
# Notes:
01 -
Want more flavor? Mash in some berries or throw in basil with the mint before pouring it out.
