Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 ml Whole milk
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 1 Lemon peel
- 3 Egg whites
- 50 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 200 g Ice cubes
Instructions
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and add the granulated sugar, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let the milk boil.
Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then, strain it to remove the cinnamon stick and lemon peel.
Pour the strained mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for about 4-5 hours, stirring every hour to create a slushy texture.
While the milk mixture is freezing, prepare the meringue. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the egg whites while beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Once the milk mixture is partially frozen and slushy, blend it with the ice cubes in a blender until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the meringue into the blended milk mixture using a spatula. Avoid overmixing to preserve the light and airy texture.
Pour the drink into glasses and sprinkle a dash of ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with a spoon or straw and enjoy this refreshing Spanish treat!
