Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Low-fat milk
- 20 whole Almonds
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 4 pods Green cardamom pods
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 10 whole Pistachios
- 100 ml Water
Instructions
Soak the almonds in hot water for 15 minutes. This will help in peeling off the skin easily.
While the almonds are soaking, warm the saffron strands in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of water to release the color and aroma.
Once almonds are soaked, peel off the skin and place them in a blender along with 100 ml of water. Blend until a smooth paste is formed.
Pour the low-fat milk into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
Add the almond paste and sugar to the simmering milk. Stir continuously to combine, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Crush the cardamom pods slightly in a mortar and pestle to release the seeds. Add these seeds to the milk.
Add the saffron water to the milk mixture. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Chop the pistachios finely or slice them using a knife.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool down slightly. Pour the milk into serving glasses.
Garnish the glasses with chopped pistachios and a few extra saffron strands if desired.
Serve warm, or you may chill the badam milk in the refrigerator if you prefer it cold.
