For those who have never heard of the song: “I have a dairy cow… Not just any cow… She gives me meringue milk…, ah, what a salty cow! Toulon, tolon…” Yes, since we don’t have that cow, we have to make the meringue milk at home. How rich!
Meringue milk, one of the cold drinks of summer, is a cinnamon and lemon flavored drink that carries us back to our childhood. Along with the horchata, the summer classics were traditional recipes of Spanish gastronomy and, above all, very simple to make.
It’s always one of the best home-made options for those hot days because you’ll have all the essential ingredients: milk, sugar, cinnamon, lemon, and eggs.
Put the milk in a saucepan with the sugar, cinnamon stick and well-washed rind of 1/2 lemon. Heat the milk until it boils. It does not need to be boiled much, when it comes to the boiling point and before the cream forms on the surface, we take it out and strain it. Let the milk cool completely.
We assemble the egg whites on hard peaks and very slowly and mix carefully so that the egg whites do not fall out and the result is creamy and sparkling. We also remove the lemon and cinnamon. Put it in a bowl and leave it in the freezer for an hour.
After this time it will be semi-frozen. You can make a shiny meringue by whisking the egg whites with powdered sugar until they are like snow, and finally serve in glasses or balloon glasses, sprinkled with cinnamon.
Another version of meringue milk is small ice cubes. Yes, this sweet and refreshing drink that refreshes us on summer days can also be served as granita.
