- In a mortar or a blender grind together almonds, cashew nuts, pistachios, melon seeds, and sugar, saffron, fennel, black pepper, nutmeg and poppy seeds. Tear the betel leaves and add to the rest of the ingredients.
- You will get a rough paste. Keep this aside to make Thandai immediately or store it in the fridge in an airtight container and it will stay for a week. Whenever you feel thirsty just add some milk and ice and enjoy a refreshing drink.
- Add the paste to the milk and mix well. Simmer for three to four minutes. Add the powdered masala to the milk and mix well. Chill the milk and serve.
- Method for Paan Thandai Cocktail
- Blend all the ingredients. Top with lots of ice cubes.
- Garnish with almond flakes the soaked sweet basil seeds and strands of saffron.
- Serve cool. Get ready to celebrate Holi tomorrow with this slightly intoxicating drink and dunk in the colours of the season.
