Category: Home made Drink Mix
Preparation Time: 15 to 30 mins
Cooking Time: About 15 mins
Servings: yields around 4 cups of prepared powder
Almond or Badam Milk is a healthy drink especially for growing kids. In the commercially available mixes, the quantity of almonds is very less and they are loaded with sugar and other preservatives. We can easily prepare the mix at home and can be stored in refrigerator for about 2 to 3 months. While preparing ourselves, we have the control over the quality & quantity of the ingredients and also really healthy. Here I blanched the almonds and removed the skin, since its hard to digest especially by the kids.
Usually people will add saffron in the mix to make the Badam Kesar milk. I usually add little organic turmeric powder since its very good to have it with milk and also it gives a gorgeous colour:)
For preparing Badam / Almond milk, we just need to mix a tbsp of the mix in a warm or cold milk. We can also mix it with milk and bring them to a single boil and serve hot!
We can use this mix to prepare payasam / kheer, sprinkle this over our oatmeal, add them in cookies, pancakes, waffles, muffins, etc.,
