Brazilian Lemonade

4 limes (the best ones for this recipe have thin, smooth skins)
1 c. sugar
6 c. cold water
6 T. sweetened condensed milk

Mix cold water and sugar very well and chill until ready to use. Wash limes thoroughly. Cut the ends off the limes and then cut each lime into eight pieces. Place 1/2 of the limes in your blender. Add 1/2 of the sugar water. Place the lid on your blender and pulse 5 times. Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher. Use a spoon to press any remaining liquid out of the blended mixture. Repeat with remaining limes and sugar water. Add sweetened condensed milk to the blended mixture. Throw away the pulp in the strainer. (Taste test the mixture before serving. If it's bitter, add a little more sugar and/or condensed milk)
