A Yemeniyah's Recipes

This is one of my favorite cold beverages–although in the past it seemed strange that the combination of the ingredients would in ANY way appeal to me. It was a wonderful surprise for my taste buds, that now just can’t get enough of it.

You will need:

1)  1 ripe avocado (ripe and GREEN, no dark spots or else it will affect both the color and the taste)

2) 2 cups of 2% milk (more if you would like it thinner) –for a richer taste use 1 and 1/2 cups of evaporated milk and 1/2 cup of water

3) 1/4 cup sugar, less or more as desired

In a blender place the milk, sugar and avocado (peeled and cored). To peel the avocado first cut into half (careful to cut around the pit). Then open up and hit the pit with a knife and it will easily slide out. Then using a tablespoon scoop the avocado out of its outer shell. Blend well until green and frothy, about a minute or so. Serve chilled.
