Notes

You can arrange your jigarthanda as you wish.
If you love to make your own ice-cream make it from scratch.
Ingredients should be made or kept readily chilled in fridge before assembling.
I have diluted only small quantity of milk with caramelized sugar but you can stir in all the milk and arrange.
The colour comes only from caramelized sugar so don’t miss that step.
Few pisin pieces blooms so much so don’t add too much.
