Thandai - Famous North India cold drink


In India, all foods are believed to be either heat-giving or cooling. Thandai is a North-Indian drink made especially when the hot, dry summer winds blow through the region leaving everything and everybody parched. This thirst-quencher is tasty and cooling. The recipe below makes 6 glasses.

Ingredients:

  • 1 litre milk
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 30 almonds blanched
  • 6 tsps whole pumpkin/sunflower seeds (unsalted)
  • 1 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 3 tsps rose water (optional)
