One of the problems this year has been the lack of Christmas decoration in public spaces. Sure, there is the typical Christmas rush on the street (which is a demotivating factor to go out), but it feels like you have to do a scavenger hunt to look for Christmas decoration... probably because of the Presidential election. This for sure, has made me not feeling like taking photos, and in addition, I'm starting my moving quite soon.
Anyways, the title of today's post means "Colourful dreams" in Turkish (it comes from a song I like) because it reflects the feeling of this photo: artwork made with the help of children from all over Santiago, and they are reflecting their dreams and interests.
Now, as I have promised, the recipe for Cola de Mono (from
Comolohago.cl)
Ingredients:
- 1 liter of milk.
- 1 cup of sugar.
- 1 tea spoon of vanilla essence.
- 1 cup of aguardiente (Chilean aguardiente! It can be replaced with Grappa, or even Tequila, but I haven't tried with the last one).
- 1 tea spoon of instant coffee (or you can prepare strong coffee).
- Cloves (optional and depends on your taste).
- Cinnamon (hopefully full- optional and depends on your taste.
Add the milk to a pot where the ingredients will be mixed, then add the cup of sugar, cloves, cinnamon, and the vanilla essence, and begin to stir over a low flame. When everything is mixed, leave it until it boils (be aware of it because it'll have a small layer). After it gets a bit colder, prepare the coffee with boiling water it, and stir it. Then pour it on the mix, and pour the aguardiente. After that, get a bottle, and place a funnel and a strainer, so that lumps are eliminated and pour it on the bottle. Then, place the bottle on the fridge. Serve cold with some ice.
