When I was a little girl, my mom used to make this morir soñando (literally "to die while dreaming") batido. One day, she came home with the recipe and it was a big, huge surprise for my sister and me.
Years later, I learned that the origins of this sweet, delicious drink could be traced to the island of merengue and bachatas, to the land of mangú, con-con, and arroz con habichuelas: to my beloved Dominican Republic.

Morir soñando is a blend of orange juice and milk with a lot of ice. It tastes like ice cream—it is creamy and yummy, yummy, yummy! I hope you like my recipe.
