badam milk:
badam milk is my favorite drink for ifthar . it can be served either hot or cold.
This is a famous indian drink made by milk and almond paste.
What is the benefits of almond milk:
- This is very nutritious
- low calories
- enriched almond milk is high in vitamin D
Ingredients:
Milk : you get the best results with whole milk. Having said that, you can make badam milk with low fat milk as well but whole milk makes it thicker and creamier.
Almonds : I use a lot of almonds.because i want almond flavor to be prominent
Sugar : you can use honey or other sweetners.
Cardamom : This is the key ingredient here.i use crushed cardamom pods . it is very flavored than the store bought cardamom powder
Saffron : This give a nice yellow colour to badam milk.
Rose water : (optional)
preparation:
Step 1:
Soak almond in hot water for 20 minutes.
Step 2:
After 20 minutes, discard the water and then remove the skin from each almond. It will come off easily.( or you can soak it in cold water but skin removing process will be hard for you )
Step 3:
Transfer blanched almonds with ¼ cup milk to a blender.
Step 4:
Blend to a smooth paste. Set it aside.
Step 5:
Now transfer the remaining milk to a pan and put in on medium-high heat.
Step 6:
As the milk warms up, take out 1 tablespoon of the warm milk from the pan into a small bowl and add crushed saffron strands to it. Set aside.
Step 7:
Once the milk in the pan comes to a boil, add the prepared almond paste to it. Stir to combine.
Step 8:
Lower the heat to low medium and let the milk simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir often so that milk doesn’t get stuck to the bottom of the pan. The raw smell of almonds should disappear completely.
Step 9:
Add in the saffron milk that you had set aside
Step 10:
Then add the sugar and stir until it’s dissolved
Step 11:
Finally add in the crushed cardamom seeds. You may also add rose water (if using) at this point.
Step 12:
Mix everything together and turn off the heat.
Step 13:
Drink And Enjoy whaaa!!!😋
