On Thursday night I saw Marcel Khalife, the famous Lebanese oud player and composer, performing at the Sydney Opera House. It was an exceptional concert, the music ranging from traditional Arabic styles and popular ballads to some amazing jazz piano improvisation.
So I was thinking of improvising when I came up with this for breakfast this morning – an almond milkshake in tribute to Marcel Khalife. I used soy icecream and oatmilk , and it worked really well with the nutty flavour of the almond, but that’s just a personal preference.
3-4 large scoops vanilla icecream
300ml of milk
2 drops almond essence
sprinkling of crushed smoked almonds
Blend the icecream, milk and almond essence. Pour into a glass, and sprinkle the crushed almonds on top.
