  1. We had it for the New Year’s Eve, half the measure for the 3 of us. Sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. Wonderful and easy. Thanks for the recipe (you are one of my top food blogger, impeccable recipes!).

  2. Just did a test run of this (half the amount) and couldn’t resist tasting it after it had chilled for 4 hours. So yummy and definitely making this for our guests on New Year’s Eve!
