Sip The Goodness: How To Make Delicious Badam Milk At Home

Badam milk , also known as almond milk, is a delightful and nutritious beverage enjoyed by many across various cultures for its rich taste and health benefits. This creamy, nutty concoction offers a perfect blend of flavors and nutrients, making it a popular choice for both its taste and its nutritional value. Whether served hot or cold, badam milk is a soothing and comforting drink that can be easily prepared at home. Here’s a simple recipe to create this delicious beverage:

Ingredients:

1 cup raw almonds
4 cups water (for soaking)
4 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
4-5 tablespoons sugar or sweetener of your choice (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
Chopped nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Soaking the Almonds

Take the raw almonds and soak them in water for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. This soaking process helps in softening the almonds, making it easier to blend them into a smooth paste.

Step 2: Blending the Almonds

Drain the soaked almonds and rinse them thoroughly. Remove the skins by gently squeezing each almond. The skins should easily slip off.

In a blender, add the peeled almonds and 1 cup of milk. Blend the mixture until you get a smooth paste-like consistency. You may need to add a little more milk to aid in blending.

Step 3: Straining the Almond Paste

Place a fine-mesh strainer or a cheesecloth over a bowl. Pour the almond paste into the strainer to separate the almond milk from the almond meal. Gently press the paste to extract as much milk as possible. Set aside the almond meal for other recipes like baking or smoothies.

Step 4: Preparing the Badam Milk

In a saucepan, pour the remaining milk and add the almond milk extracted from the paste.

Stir the mixture well and let it simmer over medium heat. Add sugar or sweetener of your choice, ground cardamom, and saffron strands. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the flavors blend together.

Allow the badam milk to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t come to a boil.

Step 5: Serving

Once ready, pour the badam milk into serving glasses or cups. Garnish with chopped nuts like pistachios, almonds, or cashews for added texture and appeal.

Badam milk can be served hot or chilled, depending on your preference. If serving cold, refrigerate it for a few hours before serving.

Making badam milk at home allows you to customize the sweetness and flavor to suit your taste buds. This delightful beverage not only serves as a tasty treat but also provides essential nutrients such as protein, healthy fats, and vitamins found in almonds and milk.

Indulge in the richness of homemade badam milk , relishing every sip of this creamy, nutty goodness. Whether enjoyed as a comforting bedtime drink or a refreshing beverage on a warm day, badam milk stands as a testament to both taste and health benefits, offering a wholesome experience in every glass.
