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
Directions
Step 1
Soak the almonds in hot water for 15 minutes. This will help in peeling off the skin easily.
Step 2
While the almonds are soaking, warm the saffron strands in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of water to release the color and aroma.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the low-fat milk into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
Step 5
Add the almond paste and sugar to the simmering milk. Stir continuously to combine, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Crush the cardamom pods slightly in a mortar and pestle to release the seeds. Add these seeds to the milk.
Step 7
Add the saffron water to the milk mixture. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Chop the pistachios finely or slice them using a knife.
Step 9
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool down slightly. Pour the milk into serving glasses.
Step 10
Garnish the glasses with chopped pistachios and a few extra saffron strands if desired.
Step 11
Serve warm, or you may chill the badam milk in the refrigerator if you prefer it cold.
