Methods

How to make Thandai Recipe

1. To make thandai, first, prepare the masala or powder. Soak almonds or badam overnight or 20 minutes in hot water before you start making this drink. Peel the almonds, add them to the blender or mixer jar along with cashews, peppercorns, cardamom pods, fennel seeds, poppy seeds, watermelon seeds, dried rose petals, saffron, and blend it to a coarse powder or add 2 or 3 tbsp of milk and make a paste. Thandai masala is ready.
2. Add milk to a heavy bottom pan on medium heat and let it come to a boil. Switch the flame to low, add sugar, thandai masala, and whisk it. Let the sugar dissolve completely. Switch off the flame. Let it sit for 60 minutes. Cover it and simply refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours or overnight for the best result. This allows the milk to get infused with all the flavor even before we strain it.Using a sieve or filter, strain the thandai into a pitcher or vessel. Press down the solid masala that is left in the sieve using the back of the spoon to extract all the milk and get the maximum flavor.
3. Till you are ready to serve, simply put it back in the refrigerator and chill.To serve, simply pour in a Matka or kullad (an earthen drinking cup) or serving glass, garnish it with pistachios, saffron, and rose petals. Happy Holi.
