Thandai is traditionally associated with festivals like Maha Shivratri and Holi in India. It is a perfect drink to keep your body cool during summer days as it can protect you from Sunstrok and nose bleeding. Thandai Masala Powder is easily available in super markets but today I have already shared an easy homemade thandai masala recipe. This is very quick and you can store it in fridge and can use the same Thandai Masala Powder for preparing Thandai Kulfi, Thandai Mousse and many more.This fresh and homemade Thandai tastes absolutely heaven, far suprior to the readymade mixes available in the market. Thandai is actually milk, energised with almonds and spices which is a perfect drink to serve on the special days and festive occasion like Holi.The aroma of fennel and cardamom and saffron rise atop the dense flavour of fully boiled milk, to pamper the senses and rejuvenate the spirit. You can strain the mixture before serving if you want it smooth or you can keep its texture coarse if you like.
INGREDIENTS:
2 Cup Milk
2 tablespoon Sugar [adjust according to your taste]
3 tablespoon Thandai Masala Powder
Sliced Dry Fruits and Rose Petals for garnishing
