The carbon dioxide in your breath reacts to produce calcium carbonate which is insoluble so it forms a milky solution.
Ca(OH)2 (in solution) CO2 >>> CaCO3 (precipitate) + H2O

It turns milky.
This is the reaction of the CO2 that you exhale and the lime water.
Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) ----> CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)
limewater + Carbon dioxide give Calcium carbonate and water.
Calcium Carbonate makes the water appear milky

Carbon dioxide from the air reacts with the calcium hydroxide in the lime water to form calcium carbonate. A white ppt is seen
CO2(G) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) = CaCO3 (s) + H2O (l)
