Leche de monja

Leche de monja (translated as nun's milk) is a sweet Peruvian cocktail with a creamy and velvety texture. It is made with a combination of eggs, pisco, and condensed milk. The ingredients are whipped until frothy, and the creamy blend is then poured into a glass.


It is traditionally garnished with cinnamon. The story says that this cocktail was first prepared by nuns—hence the name—but there is no evidence to support this claim or give more insight into the origin and history of this popular cocktail.
