HOMEMADE BADAM MILK MIX POWDER

Badam Milk Mix Powder can be prepared at home and stored for days. Indian Almond Milk is a delicious and healthy energizing drink for growing kids. It has many medicinal properties and nutritional benefits. I will also share how to prepare badam milk using this homemade badam milk mix powder. Almonds are loaded with nutrients like Vitamin E, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper and other beneficial compounds. Almonds also helps to improve skin complexion, regulates blood pressure, maintains good cholesterol level and boots immune power. I prepared this my for daughter who lives in a hostel for her education and doesn't take full diet daily and also faces some health issues now and then. I have also used organic turmeric powder which has its most active compound curcumin which has many scientifically proven health benefits, such as the potential to prevent heart diseases, Alzheimer's and cancer. Then also have cashew nuts in it which is a great source of phytochemicals, proteins and anti-oxidants. The high percentage of selenium in cashews is not only good for your skin but also helps prevent cancer as well. Store brought badam milk mix powder contains lots of preservatives. We can easily make this at home hygienically as well as healthy without adding any preservatives. You can make it in bulk quantity and store in an air tight container for about a month and if refrigerated it can be used for several months.    

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup Almonds
¼ Cup Cashew Nuts
Few Saffron Strands
¾ Cup Sugar
¼ Cup Milk Powder
4-5 Cardamoms
1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder

METHOD:

STEP 1 – Dry roast almonds and cashews separately for 2-3 minutes. You will see little brown spots on them. It will help to remove the moisture from the nuts.

STEP 2 - Remove and let them cool completely.



STEP 3 – Add almonds, cashews and cardamoms [see notes] in mixer pot and let blend it to make a coarse powder.



STEP 4 – Now add sugar, milk powder, turmeric and saffron strands and make a fine powder.
