Ingredients:

¾ cup white sugar
4 medium lemons, quartered
4 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
ice cubes
mint leaves for garnish

Directions:

Combine the sugar and the lemon quarters together in a blender or a food processor and blitz for a minute.

Sieve the mixture and collect the liquid in a small bowl, discarding the solids left behind.

Add the condensed milk into the mixture and combine well.

Dilute the mixture with water according to your taste preference and throw in some ice cubes or allow it to chill in the refrigerator.

Top with fresh mint leaves and serve!
