Ingredients:

4 cups water

2 cups powdered milk

1 tablespoon sugar

5 tablespoons cornstarch

12 toasted bread slices

1 teaspoon ground mastic

3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

2 cups hot syrup

200 g pistachios

a pinch of coconut flakes, optional

Method:

First, make the syrup. Combine 2 cups sugar with 1 1/2 cups water in a pot and bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon orange blossom water. Set aside.

In a medium pot, combine water, sweetened condensed milk, powdered milk, cornstarch, sugar, and ground mastic. Stir until smooth, and cook until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat.

Meanwhile, arrange the toast slices in a dish. Pour most of the hot syrup over the toast, reserving a little to chill. Pour the thickened milk mixture over the toast in a way that keeps the slices from shifting.

Sprinkle with finely ground pistachios and a little coconut. Chill briefly in the fridge until slightly set.
