Instructions

1
Warm the base gently — never a rolling boil, or the milk risks catching.
2
Grind the nuts and spices to a fine paste with a splash of the warm liquid.
3
Stir the paste through, sweeten, and steep 5 minutes off the heat.
4
Strain into glasses and serve warm; a chill does it no harm either.

Chef's tip

Taste before serving — summer fruit and yogurt shift daily.
