The author, Katy Dalal, has a recipe for something called “Cold Milk,” which has organic milk, sugar, ground pistachios, vanilla extract, cardamom, and nutmeg. Intrigued as I was, my eyes shifted to a different recipe for something that was actually what it sounded like: Mango Milkshake, which only has mango, organic milk, and sugar, to taste. I drink it like I would a smoothie, either for breakfast or as a post-workout drink, but I can’t think of an occasion where such a simple, humble mix of ingredients wouldn’t fly. <br /> <br />It's tempting to skip heating portion of this recipe, but boiling and simmering the milk thickens it, as well as intensifies the sweetness. Use the opportunity to infuse it with a flavor you like: I like vanilla, but cardamom, cinnamon, even a chile pepper, would be fine additions here.
