So simple but so good. Ginger Milk
A favourite Guangzhou
The final stop on our food tour was, of course, a sweet, but as she explained it, it was also a bit spicy. It was at a 20-year-old place that has been in business forever, and we were served in a bowl what looked like white pudding, maybe a custard. And it was delicious. I am a fan of ginger and all it was was warm ginger and buffalo milk, and it was delicious and we slurped it all up.

The natural enzymes in the ginger cause the milk to set into a silky custard that blends rich sweetness with a sharp, warming spice.
