Milk

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Milk 1 cup Pomegranate Juice 2 tbsp Rose Water 1/4 cup Sugar 1/2 tsp Cornstarch 1 cup Crushed Ice Rose Petals and Pomegranate Seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the milk, pomegranate juice, and rose water over low heat. Stir gently until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add this mixture to the milk mixture while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
  3. Continue heating the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding like consistency (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  4. In a blender, add the cooled milk mixture and crushed ice. Blend until smooth and frothy.
  5. Divide the blended mixture among six glasses. Garnish each glass with rose petals and pomegranate seeds for a burst of color and aroma.

Chef’s Insight
