Happy Women's day wishes to you and Amma. Timely seasonal summer special Rose Milk recipe. After school, after play.. its a perfect drink to give for kids too. They love to drink chill milk than normal milk. Your photo's are too much tempting to make it and taste it. Such a perfect pink colour. Small doubt, How long we need to soak the Sabja seeds? Can we cool the milk with seeds or only to be added at the time of serving?
SHARMILEE J
Chill it and then while serving add sabja
