Ingredient note:
Almond Flour: I have used store bought almond flour which I got from Costco.
Milk: full fat milk is preferred, but 2 % will work too.
Sugar: regular white sugar or coconut sugar can be used
Cardamom: gives a wonderful aroma to the badam doodh
Saffron: gives beautiful color and flavor to the milk, do not skip.
Step by Step instructions on making Instant Badam Milk:
1- Soak the almond flour and few pinches of saffron (optional) in one cup of warm milk for five minutes. After 5 minutes, add them to a blender and makes smooth paste. The mixture needs to be very smooth.
2- Add rest of the milk to a pot and warm the milk. Take 2 tbsps of the milk in a bowl and add few saffron strands.
3- Add the ground almond mixture and mix it with a whisk to remove the lumps. In low-medium heat let the mixture simmer for 12-15 minutes. Stir often to avoid the milk getting stuck in the bottom of the pot.
4- Add the saffron soaked milk and sugar. Let the sugar dissolve completely and taste and adjust the sweetness. Mix and simmer for couple more minutes or until your desired consistency.
5- Finally add some cardamom powder and nuts. and turn off the stove.
6- Serve the badam milk hot or chilled.
