Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams raw almonds
- 500 ml almond milk
- 10 strands saffron strands
- 0.5 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons organic maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- 10 grams pistachios, sliced
Instructions
Start by soaking the raw almonds in hot water for about 30 minutes, then peel the skin off each almond.
Once peeled, add the almonds to a blender along with 100 ml of almond milk. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender.
In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm almond milk to release their color and flavor.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the remaining 400 ml of almond milk to a gentle simmer.
Add the almond paste to the saucepan, stirring continuously to combine well with the milk.
Add the saffron-infused milk, cardamom powder, turmeric powder, and the organic maple syrup. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Turn off the heat and stir in the rose water.
Pour the Vegan Badam Milk into serving glasses, garnishing each serving with sliced pistachios.
Serve warm as a comforting, spiced drink or refrigerate and serve cold for a refreshing treat.
