Thandai is made during summer as the combination of nuts, spices, rose petals & milk has a cooling effect on the body and thus has been named accordingly.

Thandai is a traditional Indian drink served mostly during the festivals of Holi & Mahashivratri and preferred in northern & eastern Indian states. Thandai, as the name suggests is a cold beverage served chilled preferably with ice, and has the richness of nuts such as almonds, pistachios, and aromatic flavors of spices.

Description

This is an easy-to-make Thandai recipe that you can try during the upcoming Holi festival, 

Since this is homemade, doesn't have any additives or preservatives like the store-bought ones.

I have used rose petals, you can also opt for 1/2 tablespoon per glass of fresh Gulkand, but that will make your Thandai a bit sweeter.

This Thandai recipe has been made with soaked nuts & seeds and has been blended with all the spices, saffron & rose petals.

 

 

Ingredients US Cup - 240 ml

Instructions

    1. Soak all the nuts in water for at least 4 hrs. If you don't have that much time, you can soak in hot water for 1 hr.

    Also soak the poppy seeds & magaz/Melon seeds together in another bowl of water.

  2. Drain the water from both soaked nuts & poppy seeds and in a grinder jar add them, if your grinder is not powerful enough to bring the small poppy seeds, you can first hand pound them in a mortar & pestle.

  3. Add all the ingredients in this jar and grind 

  4. Grind while stirring occasionally with a little milk to make a thick paste. So that there is no dry fruit lump.

  5. Take the pan, pour in the milk, and bring the milk to a gentle boil then add sugar and the paste.

  6. Turn the heat off and stir in the mix well.

  7. Once it cools down cover and refrigerate for 4 hrs or best is over night.

  8. Once the thandai is chilled, stir it well and filter it with a sieve to remove the spices residue.

  9. Now pour in a glass, garnish with fresh or dried rose petals, and dry fruits.

    If you are using gulkand , mix with a spoon well after adding the thandai.

  10. Serve chilled
