Alouda
Mauritian milk drink with rose syrup, basil seeds and fine agar jelly.
About Alouda
Le Caroline’s locally published alouda follows the Mauritian milk drink with basil seeds and agar jelly. This version selects whole milk and rose syrup, keeping the characteristic combination of drink and textured pieces.
Rose syrup sweetens the milk and provides its floral flavour. The basil seeds and agar jelly contribute contrasting elements through the glass rather than changing the milk-based character.
The drink contains swollen seeds and finely grated jelly suspended in milk. Its varied textures distinguish the alouda, which the published preparation presents chilled.
