I made this and I gotta say, it’s amazing! So quick and easy to make and it’s the perfect snack for warm days, very refreshing! I also tried it with honey and nuts which was very nice (just make sure to not overdo it with the honey cause it’s already pretty sweet on its own) and it also went well along with some chopped up strawberries! Honestly, I’ll be making this all the time in summer, very light, airy and cool~!

I was shocked when the recipe used milk in the game but knowing that it’s kind of more like a pudding it makes sense!
