Llet merengada is one of the three most popular summer drinks in the Catalan Countries, after orxata and granissat. It's a cold drink made of sugared milk aromatized with lemon and cinnamon.

You can buy it in any ice cream shop (gelateria) or orxateria, but it's also easy to make at home, so here's the recipe!

Ingredients:

500 ml of milk

1 lemon's peel

1 cinnamon stick

75 g (=5 spoonfuls) of sugar (you can use more or less, depending on how sweet you like it)

2 egg whites

Cinnamon powder

Preparation:

Pour the milk in a pot at medium heat, add sugar, the cinnamon stick and the lemon peel (try to use only the yellow part, leaving out the white part, because the white is sour).

Before it starts boiling, move the pot out of the heat and let it infuse and cool down for at least 15 minutes.

Strain the milk through a sieve and cool it in the fridge.

If you want the simplified version, skip to step number 5. To follow the full recipe, once the milk is completely cold, freeze it. In order to obtain the desired texture, once it starts crystallizing, quickly blend it in the blender, then repeat this same process at least twice with an interval of about 2 hours.

Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, then add two spoonfulls of sugar. (To be able to do this well, the eggs should be at room temperature).

Add the egg whites to the icy milk and sprinkle cinnamon powder on top. Serve it immediately. When you drink it, it should be cold, and it's alright if there's a little bit of frozen pieces (shaved-ice style) floating around but it shouldn't be frozen.

Variations: you do other flavours. You can add a few drops of coffee or change the cinnamon and lemon for others like orange and clove or cardamom and ginger.

Got tagged by @notallsandmen for a WIP paragraph game, and I’m incredibly flattered, considering ... this doesn’t feel on the level of fic, this is fun little sketches of dialogue at most. But this is what I had, so here’s more of the mortal dreamling silliness (previous bits: modern day mortal dreamling and newlyweds with ravens)

How Hob asked Johanna to be his witness for his wedding:

He texted her asking if she was free that afternoon, because he needed her for something.  Historically "something" has meant anything from "taste-testing 3 different scone recipe variations to figure out the best one" to "hustling drunk pricks at darts". Likewise, Hob has done her favors ranging from picking up tampons to providing an alibi. In theory there is a ledger of favors owed, but in reality there will never be a balancing of books (because they're best friends, even if Johanna is too prickly to admit it and Hob is too smart to).

Johanna texted back "yeah, what's up?", and practically broke a land speed record pressing "Call" when she got the response.

Johanna: what the fuck kind of text exchange is confirming I'm around and then sending "getting married today, hello, witness!" and a selfie of you and some goth twink?

Hob: it felt pretty self-explanatory

Johanna: last I'd checked, you weren't even seeing anybody!

Hob: things change?

Johanna: I got dinner with you 5 weeks ago, you bastard, and you were single then.

Hob: ... things change fast?

Johanna: how the fuck did you even meet him?

Hob: I was running back from class during that awful rainstorm last month, and he was just outside my tube station.

Johanna: Hob.

Hob: His umbrella'd broken and he was soaking wet, and he looked absolutely miserable, poor darling.

Johanna: ...

Hob: So I offered him towels and dry clothes, since my flat was just up the road. And by the time the rain stopped I knew I wanted to marry him, and he said yes.

Johanna: what lunatic just follows strange men home?

Hob: he was pretty suspicious until I gave him my phone so he could text my address to his sister.

Johanna: and she was somehow fine with it, like 'yeah, go on'?


Hob:

Hob: he got a bit distracted by my phone background and never actually texted her.

Johanna: the fuck

Hob: you know Julian of Norwich is gorgeous

Johanna: your cat is a lesser demon escaped from hell. I'm going to exorcise your cat someday

Hob: Jules is a sweetheart. She doesn't even hunt birds!

Johanna: That thing won't kill any of the bloody birds in your neighborhood because she's saving all her energy to someday murder me and you know it.

Hob: ... undeserved paranoia about my extremely photogenic cat aside --

Johanna: WELL-deserved!

Hob: --will you be my witness?

Johanna: Left it a bit late, if you're asking me today. Did everybody else say no?

Hob: Didn't ask anybody else. Been planning to ask you since Dream said yes, but I figured if I gave you too much notice you'd flee the country.

Johanna: [tearing up, because even if you're an independent badass, it's nice to hear you're somebody's person] you're fucking right I would.

(Johanna's custom ringtone on Hob's phone is from Sweeney Todd, the final verse in Johanna where you can hear the body drop ("Wake up, Johanna, another bright red day"), because Hob and Johanna are black-hearted bastards/absolutely in cahoots with each other and think it’s funny. Hob's ringtone is Being Alive from Company ("Somebody need me too much...").  Sondheim all the way, motherfuckers)

not to sound too horny but i want a chenford sex scene so bad.

things aren’t going well with peach. while i think my dad’s very right to be concerned that she hasn’t eaten anything in nearly 60 hours (obviously i am too), im becoming increasingly concerned that she hasn’t slept at all in around 36 hours and prior to that she was under anaesthetic, which isn’t exactly restful, so it’s closer to 48 hrs

like dad took her back to the vet today and we’ve got injections for her painkillers now because she’s not eating, and also injections for fluids (because she doesn’t drink; she only gets water from her food), so the not eating is Bad but also kinda under management, but if she doesn’t sleep soon i’m extremely worried. dad was like ‘if she doesn’t eat by tomorrow afternoon we’ll take her back because the injections will run out’ but like. if she doesn’t sleep tonight we have GOT to take her back first thing in the morning so they can sedate her or something

the way if I ever get married I'm hiring a barista instead of a bartender and having a brunch reception.

I always see people like "if there's no alcohol I'm not going"

okay? rsvp no, bestie.

i always wonder what would have happened if bloberta never got clay to start drinking. would he be the same? would he be better? what if bloberta stayed an alcoholic? would bloberta and clay even be together? would their relationship dynamics be reversed?

[zaggyzoo]
