How to make Badam Milk
- Omit this to use almond flour. Add almonds to a bowl and rinse them well. Soak them in ¾ cup hot water for 30 mins. Later peel them.
- To a blender jar, add almonds (or flour), cardamom, sugar and saffron (if using). Pour half cup milk and blend to a very smooth paste.
- On a medium flame, bring the rest of the milk to a boil and stir in the almond paste. Mix well and simmer for 2 to 3 mins until bubbly and frothy.
- Taste test and add more sugar or flavorings if you want. Cool down or cover and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours. It keeps good in the refrigerator for 2 days.
- Whisk well until uniform and pour to serving glasses. Garnish with thin sliced almonds or pistachios or rose petals.
