Thandai Recipe

Thandai Recipe

Thandai Recipe

Thandai is very easy and quick to make at home. This fresh, homemade Thandai tastes absolutely heavenly. Homemade Thandai is far better than readymade milk powder available in the market. Thandai is a mixture of milk, dry fruits and spices, so it is healthy too.

Thandai is the perfect drink to serve on special days and festive occasions like Holi and Diwali. The aroma of fennel, cardamom, pepper and saffron rise atop the dense flavor of milk, to pamper the senses and refresh the spirit. You can strain the mixture before serving if you want it smooth, but if you like the coarse mouth-feel of ground almonds and poppy seeds, you can enjoy the drink as it is without straining.

Thandai Recipe

Ingredients:

For Thandai Powder
• ½ cup Almonds
• ¼ cup Pistachios
• ½ cup Cashew
• 2-3 tbsp Melon Seeds
• 2-3 tbsp Poppy Seeds
• 10-12 White or Regular Pepper Corns
• 1-2 tsp Cardamom Powder
• 1 tbsp Fennel Seeds
• 2 tbsp Dried Rose Petals

Other Ingredients
• 4 cup Full Fat Milk
• ¼ cup Sugar
• ¼ tsp Nutmeg Powder
