    Kesar Badam Milk recipe with step by step photos and a short video . Kesar Badam Milk is a delicious Indian Beverage made with Saffron and Almonds. Its a delicious and nutritious drink that you can sip on and get lost with its flavours. Badam milk can be served either hot or chilled , but I personally like cold badam milk. This is easy to make and can serve your family and friends during gatherings and festivals.

    Best thing about this badam milk is its flavours also you'll never get to know that you are drinking a glass of milk. Even milk haters will fall in love with this chilled badam milk .

    One of the best thing about this drink is , for winters you can drink a hot cup of badam milk to keep you warm from within . Having Badam / Almonds when soaked for just 30 minutes or less , will keep you warm from within , it produces heat in the body . Where as when you soak almonds for longer periods for 12 hours or more , it has a cooling effect on the body . You can chill and serve Badam milk on summer also. So as per season , prepare badam milk accordingly and devour .

    You get Kesar Badam milk powder readily available in stores but believe me once you taste this delicious badam milk at home , I bet you will never turn back to those readymade instant Kesar Badam Milk Powder .

    One more similar beverage with all goodness of dry nuts and spices is Thandai . As Maha Shivratri and Holi festivals are approaching , you can make some Thandai Masala Powder and keep it ready , to add into some milk and enjoy on festive day . Also Basundi is one more milk based drink you may love this season.
