Tasty Cashew & Fig Milkshake with Cool

Cashew & Fig Milkshake

Cuisine – Indian

Recipe category – Cold beverage

Skill level – Easy/Beginner

Ingredients

• Dried figs – 5-6
• Cashew nuts – ¼ cup
• Milk – 1 ½ cups
• Honey or Sugar– 2 tablespoons or to taste
• Rose essence – 2-3 drops, optional
• Vanilla ice cream – 1 scoop, optional

Instructions

1. Take dried figs and cashews in a small bowl. I have used broken cashews. Soak them in the water. Add enough water, so figs and cashews are just covered. Do not add too much water.
2. Let them soak for at least 4 hours, more hours will not harm. By that time, figs will soak all the water and become very soft.
3. Now chop the figs into small pieces.
4. Take cashews and figs in the blender with milk, vanilla ice cream, sugar and rose essence.
5. Blend it till figs and cashews are grinded and smooth.
6. Pour into serving glass and serve.
