Boeber (warm Milk Drink)

INGREDIENTS

45ml sago
1 litre full cream milk
100g flaked almonds
50g butter
100g vermicelli
5 cardamom pods, cracked
1 cinnamon stick
80ml sugar
125ml sultanas
125ml Nestle Cream

30ml rose water
ground cinnamon

METHOD

Place the sago in a small saucepan with 250ml of the milk. Bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Remove from the heat, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to for the sago to plump. Dry-roast the almonds in a frying pan until golden and aromatic. Allow to cool.Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the vermicelli, cardamom and cinnamon and stir over very low heat until golden and aromatic. Add the remaining milk, sugar, sultanas and sago (with the milk), and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes until vermicelli is tender and sago is transparent. Stir occasionally at first, then constantly as the boeber thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the almonds, cream or condensed milk, and rose water. Spoon into a pudding bowl, sprinkle with cinnamonand serve warm.
