Easy
20 minutes
10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 litre milk of your choice (preferably a full-cream version)
- 2 T slivered almonds
- 2 T slivered pistachios
- sago, soaked
- a pinch of salt
- 1 t butter
- ¼ t ground cardamom
- 3–4 t brown sugar, to taste
Method
1. Place the milk in a heavy-based saucepan over a low heat. Bring the milk to scalding point (when steam is emitted and tiny bubbles are seen at the edges of the milk). Be sure to stir continuously so the milk does not catch.
2. In a hot pan, dry-roast the nuts, then allow to cool (±15 minutes).
3. Add the nuts and soaked sago to the milk and mix until the sago is completely translucent. Add the salt, butter, cardamom and brown sugar to the milk. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes, while stirring. Pour into mugs and enjoy.
