badam milk is rich, tasty, and healthy, spiced milk is popularly served in many Chennai hotels. Mtr badam milk powder is one of my favorites. Perfect after-school snacks for kids.

Badam milk powder

freshly roasted Nuts make the golden milk rich and tasty. Saffron and cardamom complement the nut's flavor. Premix powder is sold widely but homemade versions without preservatives and food color make it extra healthy. 

Best Indian winter drink

When kids are sick turmeric milk is my frequent go-to choice. It is freezing these days so instead of making plain turmeric milk. I prefer making badam paal. It is filling and comforting for the throat. 

BEST TIME TO CONSUME GOLDEN MILK doodh

You can serve it as an evening drink. If kids/ adults have a sore throat you can serve it before bedtime for a good night's sleep.

Should I cook almonds?

Yes, I recommend this step. If you are grinding with a skip, you can roast and pulse

Can I use almond flour?

Yes, you can use almond flour. In that case, just roast it till it is warm and pulse it once

can I use roasted pistachio?

Yes, in that case, skip, roasting them along with cashews. 

Pulse and grind 

nuts might ooze out oil if you grind so always pulse and prepare masala paal powder. Pulsing with sugar and milk powder helps with the texture so I would recommend this step

Boiling the badam milk

I prefer boiling the badam milk but instead, you can also microwave. 

Should I powder pista and cashews?

It is optional you can pulse them or fine-chop

It stays good at room temperature for 1 month. Instead of making big batches always prefer small batch.
