Brazilian Limeade

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lime
• 1 cup water

• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup sugar

PREPARATION: 

Remove peel from lime ensuring majority of pith is removed. (Peel can be left on if you're feeling lazy, but the end product ends up being kinda bitter.) Blend one whole lime with one cup of water. Strain and pour juice back into blender. Add milk, sugar, and ice and blend.
