Morir Soñando

Ingredients

  • 600 ml fresh orange juice, very cold
  • 1 tin evaporated milk, very cold
  • 60 g sugar, to taste
  • 200 ml iced water

Method

  1. Everything has to be freezing

    Chill the juice and the milk until they are genuinely cold, and put the glasses in the freezer. The name means 'to die dreaming', and the only way it curdles is if either liquid is even slightly warm.

  2. Sweeten the milk first

    Stir the sugar into the evaporated milk until it dissolves. Sugar in the juice does nothing useful; in the milk it also buffers the acid a little.

  3. Juice into milk, slowly

    Pour the orange juice into the milk in a thin stream, stirring the whole time — never the other way round. Adding milk to acid drops it straight past the point where it splits.

  4. Ice water and serve now

    Loosen with the iced water and drink it immediately. It separates within twenty minutes no matter how carefully you made it.
