“Melk Tert” is the Afrikaans name of a South African custard pie, a desert typically served at a braai (barbeque) or at tea time. Milk Tart, on the other hand, is not simply the English translation of that desert. It’s a road-side concoction which bikers brew up from easily obtained ingredients from almost any convenience and bottle store on their tours around sub-saharan Africa. It’s an alcohol based drink reminiscent of Bailey’s Irish Cream, only younger, stronger and tastes like more. Sublime on the rocks (which is the hardest thing to find along the roadside, ice, not rocks) …
Recipe:
One medium can of condensed milk (approx 300g).
Half a bottle of vodka (375ml).
Pour can of sweetened condensed milk into half a bottle of vodka.
Shake up well and pour over ice.
