Notes
- Use full-fat milk and heavy cream for a rich, creamy texture.
- Adjust sugar to taste if a sweeter or less sweet drink is preferred.
- Beetroot powder not only adds color but also a subtle earthy flavor; use good quality powder for the best flavor.
- Serve immediately as the pink color and creamy texture are best enjoyed fresh.
- Can be made dairy-free by substituting milk and cream with plant-based alternatives.
