Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Custard powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 ml Cold water
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg or cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the custard powder with the cold water to create a smooth, lump-free paste.
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Gradually whisk the custard powder paste and sugar into the steaming milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue cooking the mixture for 3-5 minutes over low to medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly to a drinkable consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. To speed up the cooling process, you can transfer it to another container and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Once cooled, pour the custard drink into a blender with ice cubes and blend until smooth and frothy. Alternatively, you can serve it over ice without blending for a simpler presentation.
Pour into glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg or cinnamon if desired, and serve immediately.
