Hot and Cold Badam Milk

Badam Milk is the most healthy drink. One can have it either cold or hot. All of you know many things used for almonds (badam) . Almond, although popularly referred to as a nut , is edible and widely cultivated seed of the Almond tree.

I have made powder of this and stored in a airtight container. In india most of the people buy readymade Almond/Badam powder. One can add Cardamom and kesar (saffron) to this powder to make it more aromatic and tasty. Almonds are very expensive in india. Badam powder is veryrich of protien. I love the cold badam milk with the badam pieces in it. I used to have it in Mysore at the famous eatery “The Bombay Tiffinies.”

Here are my recipes for both the powder and milk






Ingredients for Badam / Almond Powder
  • Almonds / Badam - 2 cups
  • Sugar - 1 cup
  • Cardamom (Green Cardamom pods / seeds ) - 4 to 5
