Dry Fruit Milk shake

There are many types of milk shakes with different types of flavours. Here I am presenting a healthy shake with dry fruits. First I made it for my little one, now it has become a favourite in my home. This drink is really healthy and heavy and can easily repace a meal.

I adapted this recipe is from an old magazine by Ummi Abdullah.

Recipe:-

Ingredients:-
1) Figs - 4
2) Dates -6
3) Apricot - 4
4) Almond - 25 gm(Skinned)
5) Sugar - 25 gm
6) Milk - 500ml
7) Honey - 1/4 cup
8) Light Cream - 1/2 cup
9) Pista - 2tbsp (Chopped)
10) Chocolate bar - 1(optional)

Soak the first 4 ingredients in hot water for 4 hours. Then remove water and grind it nicely in a mixer or blender. Add milk and sugar and blend it again. Add honey and cream finally and blend everything smoothly. Pour into a container and refrigerate till it becomes cold. Just before serving, blend it once again till it becomes frothy. Pour into tall glasses and add chopped pista on top. Garnish with grated chocolate. A great drink to beat the heat!!
