Almond Milk: An Indian Delicacy

• 400 ml Milk
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 15 to 20 Raw almonds
• 1 pinch Saffron (or 2 cardamom pods)

1. Soak the raw almonds in water overnight (about 5 to 7 hours).
2. O, soak in boiled water for about 5 minutes, then rinse to cool.
3. Press the almonds between your thumb and forefinger to slip off the skin.
4. Blot the excess moisture with a paper towel.
5. They are delicious like this, so try one.
6. (This is the chef's privilege!)
7. Mash the almonds with a mortar and pestle.
8. You could also use a food processor.
9. You can even use almond powder, but the aroma of raw almonds is best.
10. Heat the milk in a sauce pan.
11. Slowly heat while stirring to prevent scalding.
12. You can also microwave.
13. Reduce to low heat once it comes to a boil, then add the honey, saffron, and almonds.
14. Then simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.
15. Pour it in a cup, and serve.
16. I recommend it for a tea break.
17. In Hindi, this is called "badam" milk.
