- First, put 5 cups of the milk in a pot over medium heat with 1 cup of the sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- In a bowl, put the remaining 1 cup of milk and add 6 tablespoons of the cornstarch, whisk it well and set aside.
- When the milk starts to boil, gradually add the cup of milk mixed with the cornstarch while stirring continuously until the milk thickens.
- Turn off the heat, then add ½ teaspoon rose water and ¼ teaspoon orange blossom water and stir.
- Pour the milk muhallebi into serving cups or dishes, filling them only halfway to leave room for the orange mixture later, and set aside.
- Put 3 cups of orange juice in a pot over the stove with ½ cup of sugar and heat, stirring well over medium heat.
- Mix 4 tablespoons of cornstarch with the remaining cup of orange juice and stir well.
- When the orange juice comes to a boil, add the cup of orange juice mixed with cornstarch and stir well until the orange mixture thickens.
- Turn off the heat and add ½ teaspoon rose water and ¼ teaspoon orange blossom water and stir.
- Pour the orange mixture over the milk muhallebi that has cooled to room temperature so the two layers do not blend.
- Let the milk and orange muhallebi cool at room temperature before refrigerating.
- Note: Strain the orange juice to remove pulp before heating it or before mixing the remaining cup with the cornstarch.
