Almonds1/4 cup, blanched and slivered

Instructions

1
Chill everything first — glasses, liquid, the works — cold is the texture.
2
Combine the milk with the almonds in a blender or bowl.
3
Blend or whisk until smooth and slightly frothy; taste for sweetness.
4
Add the poppy seeds and pulse once — enough to scent, not to shred.
5
Top with the garnish, add a straw, and drink within minutes.

Chef's tip

Chill the glasses; it matters more than the ice.
