Prep Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

 Citrus juice: 1 \text{ cup} fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice (about 4–5 large lemons or 5–6 limes)

 Cold water: \frac{1}{2} \text{ cup}

 Ice: 5 \text{ to } 6 \text{ cups} ice cubes

 Citrus zest: 1 \text{ tbsp} finely grated lemon or lime zest (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

1. Combine ingredients: Add the water, fresh citrus juice, sweetened condensed milk, zest (if using), and ice cubes into a high-speed blender in that order.

2. Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high for 30–45 seconds until the ice is completely crushed and the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and frothy.
