Ingredients

1 large ripe avocado
30 g blanched almonds (or 3 tbsp ground almonds)
400 ml cold milk
1½ tbsp sugar or honey, to taste
1 tsp Orange flower water (optional)
1 handful ice cubes

Method

Halve the avocado, remove the stone and scoop the flesh into a blender. Add the almonds, milk, sugar and orange flower water.
Blend for 1 minute, until completely smooth and thick.
Add the ice and blend for 30 seconds more. Taste, add more sugar if you like, and drink straight away before it darkens.

Tips

Contains almonds and dairy. Oat or soy milk makes it dairy-free and vegan (use sugar, not honey).
Some Moroccan cafés blend in a date or a banana for extra sweetness.
