Bhangshake (serves 3) :: Aditya and Arjun dosed me with the vivid high of this sublime hash milkshake -
- milk (1 ltr.) (the higher the fat content the better)

- hash (1 centimetre - how much is that? i am so old.) (warmed and crumbled)

- sugar (to taste, substitute with honey or maple syrup)

- cloves (freshly crushed)

- safraan (goddamn)

- cinnamon (the fine bark kind is best - pulverise with your fingers first)

- cardamom (open the green pods - grind the black seeds.... throw the pod husks in with your coffee beans for later)
with a staff-mixer in a tall container blend the hell out of all of the dry ingredients together with 3 tbs. of the milk. slowly add the rest of the milk and make sure you work up a good head of foam. Ice is for pussies. Pussy.
This bhangshake gets you gradually stoned in a really gentle but increasingly psychedellic way. Good afternoon drink. Don't mix with alcohol.
