Almond Milk or Badam Doodh is a sweet beverage drink from the Mughlai Cuisine. This is really delicious drink. This Almond Milk can be had hot or cold. In winters you can have it hot and in summers you can have it chilled. A healthy, tasty and nutritious almond flavored beverage drink prepared with full cream milk and almonds. This energy drink can also be served to young kids and expecting pregnant mothers apart from all age groups. There are several brands who do offer instant badam mix powder which has to be just mixed with boiling milk. While it certainly a time saver, but we need to be cautious about these products. Also we need to be careful about chemical preservatives added to these products. And most importantly the instant mix powder can never be freshly made, therefore I would recommend this traditional way of preparing the Almond Milk Recipe. Almond Milk/Badam Doodh Ingredients 25-30 almonds 2 cups milk 1/4th cup milk extra Saffron strands 3 tsp sugar Fe...
