Ingredients
- 30 whole Almonds
- 5 strands Saffron strands
- 4 cups Almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Sugar or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Rose water (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Pistachios, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped almonds (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Soak the 30 whole almonds in hot water for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to peel them.
Step 2
After soaking, peel the skin off the almonds. The skin should slip off easily when pinched.
Step 3
Grind the peeled almonds into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor. Add a little water if necessary.
Step 4
In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in 2 tablespoons of warm almond milk. Set aside.
Step 5
In a medium saucepan, bring the remaining almond milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 6
Add the almond paste to the simmering milk, stirring continuously to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 7
Mix in the infused saffron milk, cardamom powder, and sugar or maple syrup. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the milk is evenly colored.
Step 8
Allow the badam milk to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 9
Remove from heat and stir in the optional rose water for added fragrance.
Step 10
Pour the dairy-free badam milk into mugs or cups and garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds.
Step 11
Serve warm or allow it to cool in the refrigerator for a chilled version.
