This recipe is based of the post by Nirup Konijeti about the carrot milk her grandmother used to make her. I’ve tweaked it slightly using more cardamom and some other spices. See what you think, I love this on a hot summer day as a cool off drink.
Ingredients:
1 x packet of carrots
1 x small tin condensed milk
saffron
cardamom pods or powder
vanilla
salt
1 ltr (33 fl oz) x milk
Boil your carrots
Peel and boil them until they are soft and almost falling apart. They need to be soft enough to blend.
Blend
Blend the carrots after cooling, with 1/3 of the milk the condensed milk (I used 300ml or 10 fl oz), 2 tbsp of cardamom, pinch of salt.
Heat in pot
Heat up your mix and add in a pinch of saffron, vanilla and remaining milk. I added more cardamom too. Heat for 10 mins, let cool, bottle and then chill in the fridge over night.
Serve to friends
I serve it by diluting it with a little more milk, over ice in a chilled glass. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg seems to work too!
