Instructions
- To a mixer jar first add ⅛ cup fennel seeds, 5 cardamom, 10 pepper corns and half of ¼ cup sugar.

- Sieved mixture is ready, Set aside for later use.
- Now to the same mixer jar, add ¼ cup almonds, ⅛ cup cashews, ⅛ cup pistachios, ⅛ cup melon seeds, remaining sugar and 10 strands saffron. Nuts are there hence be careful while grinding as it might let out oil easily.
- Grind it as fine as possible. Do not grind more otherwise it might form lumps and leave oil from nuts.
- Add it to the sieved mixture.
- Mix it well. Store in clean, dry airtight container.
- This prepared mixture can be used for 4 cups of milk. Here I have used 2 cups milk so added half of thandai powder to it. Boil milk well, cool down then chill it.

- Mix it well. Instant thandai ready. Serve chilled!
- Thandai mix and thandai ready!

Notes
- Add little more sugar than we usually add as for chilled milk sugar is needed more than usual.
- Adding cashews is optional but I prefer adding it.
- You can add dried rose petals if you like the flavor.
- Instead you can even add rose essence to chilled milk while serving.
- You can even add even gulkand and rose essence.
- I have not used poppy seeds, rose petals in this recipe but if you want you can add 1 teaspoon poppy seeds, 1 teaspoon dried rose petals while grinding the spices.
