Good to know

Plums often have a dusty, old-fashioned image, but with cinnamon and cold milk they make a drink that tastes strongly of late summer.

Swaps

Honey → maple syrup (if you'd rather avoid animal products for sweetening, swap the honey for a strong Canadian maple syrup).

Cooking tips

The riper and softer the plums, the less honey you need. Taste the smoothie before you sweeten it.

Storage

Because of the plums' strong fruit acids, the milk can curdle if the drink stands around unchilled for a long time.
