# Steps:
01 -
Firmly roll each lemon on the countertop to maximize juice yield. Slice lemons in half and juice until you have 240 ml, straining to eliminate seeds and pulp.

In a large pitcher, add the strained lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and well-emulsified, ensuring no lumps remain.
03 -
Gradually mix in the cold water while stirring. Taste and, if a sweeter profile is desired, incorporate simple syrup in small increments to preferred sweetness.
04 -
Refrigerate the lemonade mixture for at least 30 minutes to ensure thorough chilling. If short on time, you may proceed immediately to serving.
05 -
Fill tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled lemonade over the ice.
06 -
Garnish each glass with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves. Stir gently with a straw before serving to fully integrate flavors.
# Additional Notes:

Elevate flavor by muddling berries or incorporating fresh herbs such as basil along with the mint prior to serving.
