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
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the raw almonds in hot water for about 30 minutes, then peel the skin off each almond.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm almond milk to release their color and flavor.
Step 4
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the remaining 400 ml of almond milk to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Add the almond paste to the saucepan, stirring continuously to combine well with the milk.
Step 6
Add the saffron-infused milk, cardamom powder, turmeric powder, and the organic maple syrup. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and stir in the rose water.
Step 9
Pour the Vegan Badam Milk into serving glasses, garnishing each serving with sliced pistachios.
Step 10
Serve warm as a comforting, spiced drink or refrigerate and serve cold for a refreshing treat.
