My son introduced me to this wonderful treat and the search was on! I had to find a way to make my own as I can't rationalize driving 35 miles one way to my fix. This delicious drink can now be had any time of the day or night! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. *Prep & cook times are estimated. The first few times it took me longer, each time does get easier.
