# How to Make It:

01 - Roll the lemons firmly on a countertop to release maximum juice, then cut in half and press out enough juice to measure 1 cup.
02 - In a large pitcher, whisk together fresh lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk until smooth, ensuring the condensed milk is fully incorporated.
03 - Gradually add cold water to the lemon mixture, stirring continuously for a uniform blend. Taste, then, if desired, blend in simple syrup for extra sweetness.
