If I had limes right now....

My Mom makes this...and it is so good! So in honor of summer coming to an end and if you are sick of regular ol' lemon lemonade, give this one a try. I could drink it by the bucket. And I do.

Brazilian Lemonade
2 large limes (the smoother the skin, the jucier the lime!)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
6 cups water
ice
Wash limes and then cut ends off. Cut into 1/8" pieces. Place in blender and add sugar, milk and water. Blend by pulsing 5 times. (Too much and it will be bitter...no one wants bitter!) Strain to remove rinds. Serve over ice. Raspberries, strawberries, pineapple, or coconut can be added to lime mix before blending. Important: If you have a 4 cup blender, cut recipe in half and do 2 batches. You will end up with a horrible mess if not! (I am of course speaking from personal experience! And it warned me on my recipe card. I didn't listen...whoops!)
