Hash Shakes are sooooooooo passée
Well, what were You eating one and a half years ago?
Bhang Shake (serves 3)
Aditya and Arjun (not their real names) dosed me with the vivid high of this sublime hash milkshake one and a half year's ago.
What were we THINKING!!!
Make thusly:
- milk (1 ltr.) (the higher the fat content the better)
- hash (1 centimetre - how much is that? I am so old.) (warmed and crumbled)
- sugar (to taste, substitute with honey or maple syrup)
- cloves (freshly crushed in a mortar)
- saffron (don't skimp on the saffron)
- cinnamon (the finer the better - pulverise with your fingers first)
- cardamom (open the green pods - grind the black seeds.... throw the pod husks in with your coffee beans for tomorrow morning)
With a staff-mixer in a tall container blend the hell out of all of the dry ingredients together with 3 tbs. of the milk. Slowly add the rest of the milk and make sure you work up a good head of foam. Ice is for pussies. This bhangshake gets you gradually stoned in a really gentle but increasingly psychedellic way. Good afternoon drink but don't mix with alcohol.
