Just made with the freshest of limes (my parents Fedexed them to me as part of a huge care package of fruits and vegs from their Caribbean garden).
All I did was make a strong limeade with very cold sparkling water (I use Gerolsteiner because I find it cheap, by the case, at Trader Joe's but you can use any or you can always use tap water if you dislike gas)), added a couple tablespoons of condensed milk and stirred, added 2 ice cubes (or blitz in blender) and served it in one of those cute O Riedel glasses. Delish! I first tried this at Tamarind Tree as it is a traditional Vietnamese drink but I think mine (perhaps due to the freshness of the limes) is --modesty aside--much, much much better.
Imagine a little bit of Coconut or lemon infused white rum added to this and it might be just the thing to turn this simple beverage into a little party in a glass. I'm just saying...
