Badam Milk, I just love this summer beverage. It is refreshing, cool and simply yummy.
For the newbies, Badam Milk, also called Badam Drink, is a chilled milk drink infused with almonds, cardamom, and saffron. Whoa, that sounds aromatic and appetizing!
Bikano is a renowned brand that sells Badam milk as Bikano Badam drink.
MTR is another famous food brand from India. It also sells MTR Badam Drink Mix, a perfect combination of Badam, Kesar & Elaichi. It makes a drink so delicious that your child will now look forward to drinking milk.

Badam Milk recipe
Ingredients
- Whole Milk- 1 tall glass
- Almonds- 8 to 9

- Cardamom- either 2-3 crushed cardamom pods or ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder. The pods just give better aroma.
- Saffron- 2-3 strands
- Rose water (optional)- ½ teaspoon

Method
- Soak almonds in hot water for 20 minutes.
- Peel off the skin from almonds and discard the water.
- In a blender, add 1/4 cup milk and blanched almonds. Making a smooth paste.
- In a thick-bottomed pan, boil the remaining milk on medium-high heat.
- Add almond paste and saffron strands to it. Keep stirring.
- Simmer on a low flame for another 15 minutes with continuous stirring. This will avoid milk getting stuck on the bottom of the pan.

You can either drink Badam Milk as a hot beverage or serve it chilled after keeping it in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours.
