Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 5 ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon powdered dehydrated blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Warm the honey in your hands or hold the jar under the hot tap for a minute first. Cold honey dropped onto ice seizes into a lump at the bottom of the jug and stays there.
- Put the milk and yoghurt in before the powder. Blueberry powder floats and clings to a dry jug wall, and washing it back down means adding water you had not planned on.
- Blend the liquids and the powder together first, then drop in the ice for a second, shorter blend. The powder needs a moment to open up and it will not do that in a jug full of ice.
- Expect the colour to shift from purple to a dusty lavender as the dairy comes through. That is the pigment reacting with milk protein, not a fault in the powder.
- Taste once it is smooth. Dried berry is sharper than fresh, so this often wants a little more honey than the list suggests.
- Serve it immediately. Left standing, the powder settles into a sludge at the bottom of the glass, and a second blend brings it back thinner than it was.
