Supplies

Serves: 4-5 cups

Ingredients:

  • Milk (of your choice but preferably cow's milk and full cream) - Here I am using 1 liter of milk.
  • Almonds - 3/4 cup
  • Sugar - 5 teaspoon (or as per your taste and choice)

Tools:

  • Blender
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula

Step 1: Soaking the Almonds in Hot Water

Take a saucepan and fill it with some water.

Turn the stove to medium-high heat and let it boil.

Then soak the almonds in hot water.

Step 2: Peeling Off the Skin

Next, we peel off the skin of each almond by hand as it comes off easily.

Then add the blanched almonds to the blender with 2 tablespoons of water and blend it.


Step 3: Blending the Blanched Almonds to a Smooth Paste

Blend it till you get a smooth almond paste (you can keep adding 1 teaspoon of water whenever necessary).

Set it aside.


Step 4: Simmering the Milk With the Prepared Almond Paste

Take a saucepan and add milk to it.

Turn on the stove to medium high heat.

Add the prepared almond paste and stir it well with a spatula.

Let it simmer for 10-15 mins and make sure to stir it often.

Then add sugar and stir until it dissolves.

Turn off the heat and serve it hot.

Step 5: Done!!!

And our warm delight is ready to drink :)
