Miss Aimee B's Lemonade

This is from a local tea room. This recipe appeared in a newspaper a few years ago. I know it sounds strange but it really is good. I tried it initially because I was intrigued and thought it would be a good summer drink. I was not disappointed. It took some coaxing to get my boyfriend to even try it but he was glad he did.

1. Wash lemons, cut off ends and quarter. Squeeze juice into a glass bowl.
2. In blender, coarsely chop lemons (do not puree). Add chopped lemons to juice. Add sugar, stir well and let sit 30 minutes. Add milk; stir well. Cover; refrigerate several hours (I thought it would curdle and it doesn't).
