Adding milk to cola is exactly the kind of thing your mother would get wild about, right? Which is probably why you have to sneak out to Balwant Singh Dhaba to order this very odd and absolutely delicious beverage. It feels almost forbidden, because it’s not supposed to work, but it does! And it never gets old, this desi cola float. You can depend on Kolkata to turn an unusual craving into a classic. When it’s tea-time but you don’t want chai, and a lassi just doesn’t cut it, a Doodh Cola hits the sweet spot, with just the right amount of chill, fizz and cream. And in case you’re trying to digest a spicy meal at the dhaba, then all the better to wash it down with.
