Badam milk powder is a rich and flavorful powder prepared with almonds, palm jaggery, saffron, and cardamom. All the ingredients used to make this powder not only adds flavor to the drink but also good for your health. Badam milk powder can be consumed with hot as well as cold milk. I do not want to use store bought badam milk powder which is loaded with sugar, artificial flavors, and colors. So, I tried this homemade badam drink, which was a big hit in our family.

Notes:

  • If you live in a humid weather place, better store it in a refrigerator and use.
  • You may also use this powder to flavor your Kulfi or Kheer/ payasam.
  • While grinding the almonds, blender should not get warm, so pulse the mixer for few seconds and then stop. Repeat this same process until you get fine powder. Else the almonds will release oil.
  • I have used palm jaggery in this recipe instead of sugar, so that people who are health conscious can also drink this. Others can add sugar as per their taste.
