  1. 1

    Heat the milk and vanilla in a pot on the stove. As milk heats, whisk in the corn starch and make sure there are no clumps.

  2. 2

    Add in sugar and orange flower water (mazaar). As the mixture gets hot, it will thicken immensely. This drink is meant to be very thick. Use the water to thin it out a bit, if necessary, but it should really have the consistency of light yoghurt.

  3. 3

    Once the misture is thick and hot, add the package of splenda or sweetner if necessary, stir and then pour it into one large or two small mugs.

  4. 4

    Divide the almonds, pishtachios, coconut, raisins and cinammon between the two mugs. Do not stir.

  5. 5

    You are supposed to stir the drink yourself once it is served.
