Ingredients (1 cup = 240ml )

20 to 24 almonds or badam
500 ml Milk or 2 cups
2 teaspoons Sugar or any sweetener
1 pinch Saffron strands or ⅛ tsp turmeric (optional)
1/8 teaspoon Green cardamom powder or ealichi powder (or 2 pods)

How to make the recipe

Preparation

Heat 1 cup water and add the almonds to it. Rest for 5 mins and remove the skin.
Alternately you can rinse and soak almonds in ample amount of water for at least 4 to 6 hours.
Soaking helps to remove the skin easily & blends well to a smooth paste. Peel the skin of the almonds.

How to make badam milk

Bring 1½ cups of milk to a boil.
Meanwhile blend the almonds, cardamoms, sugar & saffron with ½ cup milk to a smooth paste.
Add this to the boiling milk & stir well. Optionally you can simmer for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Serve badam milk warm or chilled.
If you are serving it to a little kid, you may need to filter to remove the coarse granules. This is optional and depends on your blender.
Refrigerate and use up the milk within 2 days.
You can also use this badam milk to serve with your cereals, make ice creams, faluda, desserts etc.
