Ingredients

  • 2 cups skim milk
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 teaspoons water
  • 5 teaspoons sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons orange flower water (aka. mazaar)
  • 2 tablespoons crushed almonds
  • 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons raisins

Method

  • Heat the milk and vanilla extract in a pot on the stove. As milk heats, whisk in the corn starch and make sure there are no clumps.
  • Add in sugar and orange flower water (mazaar).
  • As the mixture gets hot, it will thicken immensely. This drink is meant to be very thick. Use the water to thin it out a bit, if necessary, but it should really have the consistency of light yoghurt.
  • Once the misture is thick and hot, add the package of splenda or sweetner if necessary, stir and then pour it into one large or two small mugs.
  • Divide the almonds, pishtachios, coconut, raisins and cinammon between the two mugs. Do not stir.
  • You are supposed to stir the drink yourself once it is served.
  • Enjoy!
