The days here are so hot, and there's no sign of the dry season ending soon. I can drink countless cold drinks every day. I can't control my daily consumption of cold drinks anymore. It feels like every meal I eat must be accompanied by a cold drink, anything that's cold 😁.

When I got home from work, I wanted a sweet, cold drink, and the idea came to me to make a simple yet very popular drink. We often make this drink when we're together eating and also when we're harvesting rice in the fields.

The ingredients I need are sweet syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and water.

Since I didn't have any sweetened condensed milk at home, I went to a kiosk to buy it. Now that I have all the ingredients, I'm going to make it.

First, I opened the milk packaging and poured it into a container. By the way, the milk I used this time was sachet milk. I poured it all out with a small amount of Frisian Flag brand syrup, 37 grams, or one sachet.

It turns out that one sachet contains very little milk, so I couldn't make too much because it would make the taste unpleasant. So I had to adjust it based on my estimate.

Then I added about 30 ml of sweet syrup. The syrup I used is locally produced and of guaranteed quality. After that, I added water.

I used 400 ml of water. I was just estimating it because I didn't have a measuring tool. Then, I stirred it until it was completely mixed.

I also didn't forget to taste it by tasting a little, and it turned out to be exactly what I expected, so I didn't need to add anything else.

After everything was done, I added ice cubes. Oh, and it turned out my fridge had run out of ice cubes. As I mentioned earlier, I drink cold drinks so often that I didn't realize I was running out. So, I was forced to put this drink in the refrigerator.

This method will make the drink feel cold, but it won't have the same taste as adding ice cubes. After that, I'll leave it for a while. While it cools, I'll go to pray Dhuhr.

About 15 minutes later, I take it back from the refrigerator and it's already cold and ready to enjoy.

This is the result of the refreshing drink I made today. It tastes delicious, I love it. In my area, this drink is called strawberry milk. This is just a local name. I don't know the original name or where it comes from, or if it's just an experiment mixing drinks in my area to create a delicious and viral drink.

As it went down my throat, the fresh, sweet sensation of syrup and delicious milk combined in one gulp made it hard to stop drinking. It's truly an extraordinary sensation. You might try it at home by following the instructions as I did. There's no harm in trying something new, who knows, you might like it too.
