Die Dreaming

A recipe for Morir Sonando Literal translation "die dreaming". Ingredients vary greatly depending on the region of the Dominican Republic.

  * 2 cups of milk
  * Juice from 2 large oranges(can be substituted for lemons or limes)
  * 8 tablespoons of sugar (optional)
  * Plenty of crushed ice (blender cup filled with all previous ingredients)

Preparation

Use three pitchers, large jars or similar tall containers.

Juice the limes or lemons. Place the juice in one of the containers, adding sugar. Pour back and forth from one container to another until sugar is mostly dissolved.

Add half the ice. Pour the ice and lime back and forth a number of times until it is very cold. Taste. It should be tangy but slightly sweet, like tart-sweet lemonade. Add more sugar if required, and pour back and forth some more to dissolve.

In the third, clean pitcher, place the milk and the rest of the cracked ice. Pour back and forth, using the second empty container, until it too is extremely chilled. Work quickly so the lime juice doesn't have a chance to warm up.

Quickly combine the milk and lemon, pouring back and forth a few times to allow it to combine and not curdle. Strain into tall glasses. Serve with straws. There you have it, morir sonando !
