Thandai(my style😉)
A coolant which is non intoxicating minus the
bhaang. Healthy, nutritious and also a energy drink to beat the summer heat.
Ingredients:
Fennel seeds-1/2 T spn
Pepper corns-10-12
Poppy seeds-1/2 T spn
Mace-smaller than a pea
Soaked and skinned Almonds-15

Cardamom-6-7 pods
Saffron strands-6-7
Dates-3
Milk-2+1 cups
Dried rose petals-1/2 T spn
Gulkand-1/4 spn.
Method:
Refrigerate 2 cups of milk.
Take all the above ingredients and powder them in a mixie.
Now heat a cup of milk and add the above mixture and cook well till it thickens and as it gets thicker put off the flame.
Allow to cool.
Mix it into the refrigerated milk.
Mix well and refrigerate it until it’s cold.
Pour in the cups and garnish with fresh rose petals and nuts .
I have not added any sugar as the dates and gulkand already are sweet.
