2. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. (Again, do not let boil.) Pour mixture into a clean bowl and leave to cool a little.
   
   
3. Stir in the condensed milk, tequila nd orange-flavored liqueur, lime juice and zest, and then cool completely. Pour into a container with a tight-fitting lid and freeze for at least 4 hours.
