Rose Milk Shaved Ice
A home-style Indian shaved ice dessert built on a block of lightly sweetened water that's scraped into snowy crystals, then drenched in a blushing pink, cardamom-scented condensed milk syrup and finished with chopped pistachio. It borrows the soul of South Indian rose milk and the street-stall gola in one quick, cooling bowl.

Instructions
1
Dissolve the sugar fully into the water over gentle heat for about 1 minute, then cool to room temperature.
2
Pour the sweetened water into a shallow tray about 350ml/12fl oz in size and freeze flat for at least 4 hours, until solid.
3
Just before serving, stir the condensed milk, whole milk, a drop of pink food colouring and the ground cardamom together in a small jug to make the rose-style milk syrup.
4
Remove the ice block from the freezer and scrape firmly across the surface with a sturdy spoon or fork to shave off fine, fluffy ice crystals, mounding them into two serving glasses or bowls.
5
Immediately pour the rose milk mixture evenly over the two mounds of shaved ice so it soaks in slightly and pools at the base.
6
Scatter the chopped pistachio over the top and serve at once with long spoons before the ice begins to melt.
