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.
