Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Raw almonds
- 240 ml Water
- 500 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 5 strands Saffron strands
- 4 pods Green cardamom pods
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for extra flavor)
- 10 grams Chopped pistachios
Instructions
Soak the raw almonds in 240 ml of water overnight or for at least 6 hours.
Drain the soaked almonds and peel off their skins.
Grind the skinned almonds into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor, adding a little almond milk if necessary.
In a medium saucepan, add the almond paste and 500 ml of unsweetened almond milk.
Heat the mixture over a medium flame, stirring continuously to prevent burning, for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the saffron strands and lightly crushed cardamom pods to the almond milk mixture.
Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes on low heat until the flavors infuse well.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before adding protein powder.
Add one scoop of whey protein powder and mix well until completely dissolved.
Sweeten with honey or maple syrup, and stir in the optional cocoa powder if using.
Pour the badam milk into glasses and garnish with chopped pistachios.
Serve warm or chilled, as desired.
