In this land of cold, what is a girl who wants a hot drink but doesn’t like coffee to do? I’ve seen hot chocolate a few places in Ulaanbaatar but it certainly hasn’t caught on. And it’s not on this menu.
Herbal teas… yuck… earl grey tea… yuck…
Oh… milk and honey. Well, I like milk. I like honey. I can’t imagine how that would be a bad combination.
Outside the window the snow begins to fall thicker… yes, this does seem like a milk and honey occasion.
The glass the waitress brings is quite large. It’s clear, and I can see a puddle of honey at the bottom with the milk poured over it. That makes sense, much easier to heat up the milk solo and let me stir it in!
Tasting the milk alone. It has that slightly nuanced UHT taste that milk from Asia always seems to. It’s the perfect temperature: warm but not hot, no skin but a little frothed.
Stir stir stir with the spoon!
Trying it again… whoa! The honey-taste is really strong! No milk flavour at all now, I could be drinking honey alone!
It’s a bit too strong at first, but the second taste is better. Perhaps because the shock factor is gone.
It’s a very floral honey, sweet, with a warmth from the taste that lingers on the tongue and cheers me from toe to tip.
Perhaps a bit too sugary, in the end. But a little less honey and this could be my traditional drink on these snowy days…
