GAJAR HALWA ka DOODH
It is almost end of February and the winter continues here in N.Calfornia. The trees have early spring blossoms on them, which is very deceiving but the rain and wind has been nonstop keeping the temperatures very low. Hopefully things change and spring arrives soon. In the meantime I’m enjoying my winter drinks everyday. This latte is very autumnish and feels really cozy when served hot or warm.
It has been a little over 6 months I kicked my coffee addiction and have replaced it with wellness lattes for my 3o clock binge. I’ve experimented with different combination and I have a few that are on the repeat every week. They are so good I will be sharing them with you over the next few days. So subscribe or bookmark on Instagram. This latte is delicious warm or chilled, it’s packed with spices which will remind you of a carrot cake or carrot halwa.
