Ingredients

• 20 whole Almonds
• 500 ml Milk
• 8 strands Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 5 whole Pistachios
• 5 whole Cashew nuts

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the almonds in hot water for 30 minutes to soften them. This makes it easier to remove the skins.

Step 2

After soaking, peel the skins off the almonds and set them aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the pistachios and cashew nuts and set aside for garnishing.

Step 4

Grind the peeled almonds with a tablespoon of milk to make a smooth paste using a blender. Ensure there are no coarse granules.

Step 5

In a saucepan, bring the remaining milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

Step 6

Add the almond paste to the boiling milk and mix well. Continue to simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add the saffron strands and sugar to the milk, stirring until the saffron infuses its color and aroma into the mixture.

Step 8

Stir in the cardamom powder, mixing thoroughly to incorporate the spice's fragrant flavor.

Step 9

Let the badam milk simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the milk cool slightly if you prefer to serve it warm, or allow it to cool completely to room temperature before chilling it in the refrigerator.

Step 11

Pour the prepared badam milk into serving glasses and garnish with the chopped pistachios and cashew nuts.

Step 12

Serve the badam milk warm or chilled, based on your preference.
