Description

A sweet milk flavored by fresh carrots. I love when my mother makes this, and this is a hit among our friends.

Ingredients

5 large carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 cups water
3 quarts skim milk
3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cardamom

Directions

1 Place the carrots and water into a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Boil until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then puree carrots and water in a blender.
2 In a large pot, heat the milk over medium heat. Stir in the carrots, sugar and cardamom until sugar has dissolved. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Shake or stir before serving.
