Notes

Use whole milk and whipping cream to make the shots perfectly creamy. However, lower fat milk and half and half will work too, but it will give a less creamy result.
Buy the betel leaves the day you want to make the recipe. If you buy them in advance, cover them in a moist kitchen towel and place them in the refrigerator. The leaves will keep well for 3-4 days.
The drink has a strong paan flavor. However, to get a milder flavor reduce the number of leaves used.
It is easy to make the drink before hand. Simply process, strain and store in the refrigerator. Mix well and serve chilled.
The drink here is not bright green as I have not added any color. To get a bright green color, add a couple of drops of green gel color to the mix in the blender.
Moreover, it is easy to spike the drink with some vodka for those who would like some booze.
Use a non-dairy milk and cream for a Vegan version.
Skip the sugar and simply add gulkand for a less sweet version of the drink.
