    About Badam Milk

    Badam Milk is one of the healthiest ways to include almonds in our regular diet. I always make Homemade Badam Milk Powder to make Instant Badam Milk but this Badam Milk is a traditional one made by soaking almonds, making a powder and boiling it with milk, tastes delicious too. Badam milk is called as Badam Paal in tamil and Badam Doodh in hindi.

    Soaking almonds or badams makes it easy to peel the skin. Badam or Almonds are rich in Vitamin E so including them in daily diet is good. You can even soak 2-3 almonds in water overnight then next day strain water, peel the skin and you can consume it. I love saffron and cardamom flavour the best when paired up with badam so I recommend adding it.

    Badam Kheer & Badam Milk

    Badam Kheer is often misunderstood as Badam Milk as both of them are different in texture and taste. Badam Kheer is thicker & creamier than Badam milk. To make it simple Badam Milk is a milder version of Badam Kheer.

    Badam Milk Ingredients

    • Badam : Choose Badam from fast moving nuts & spices / grocery stores for good quality ones.. If you can smell or taste Badam at store, they should not smell or taste chemical even if it subtle. Badam should not be shrinked or too small.
    • Milk : Use full fat milk for best creamy badam milk.
    • Saffron, Cardamom : Use genuine branded saffron strands as there are lot of duplicate ones. Saffron gets the flavours & beautiful color to the kheer. Kashmiri saffron is one of the best in the world and available in lots in India. Cardamom is added for flavours.
    • Sugar : I added regular white sugar for this recipe. You can replace it with cane sugar too.
