Steps:
- 1. SWEETENED CONDENSED COCONUT MILK: Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan; heat over medium-high heat until boiling, about 5 minutes.
- 2. Watch this pot closely! Once the coconut milk starts to boil, it can bubble over quickly. Whisk regularly to prevent burning. Reduce the heat, bringing the coconut milk to a simmer, then add the sweetener, whisking until it's completely dissolved.
- 3. Allow to simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half. *Note (from original recipe source): "I don't recommend using low-fat or light coconut milk, since those versions are usually just coconut milk that's diluted with water to lower the fat content. You'll have to boil the coconut milk longer, and will have less condensed milk as a result- wasting your time and money. Use the full-fat stuff for best results!" Remove from the heat then set aside to cool completely before using in recipes. The mixture will thicken up as it cools.
- 4. LIMEADE: After washing the limes well, cut off the very ends and then slice into eight wedges.
- 5. Place the limes in a blender with the sugar (start with 2 tablespoons sugar-you can always add more later), sweetened condensed coconut milk, filtered water and crushed ice.
- 6. Blend well, pulsing 5 times (original recipe ); or as I did by blending for a full 1-2 minutes. To remove the lime rind pieces, strain through a fine mesh strainer and into a glass bowl. Serve immediately over ice cubes. Taste the limeade and if desired make corrections-does it need more condensed (coconut) milk, more sugar? Cover and refrigerate until later or serve immediately over ice cubes.

Steps:
- Wash limes thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice into eight wedges. Place limes in a blender with the sugar, sweetened condensed milk and water Blend in an electric blender until well mixed. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove rinds. Serve over abundant ice.
Tips:
- Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Limes that are slightly yellow or green are ideal.
- If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice. However, fresh limes will give your limeade a much better flavor.
- Add sugar or honey to taste. The amount of sweetener you add will depend on your personal preference.
- Garnish your limeade with a lime wedge or slice. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve your limeade chilled. You can either chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or serve it over ice.
