Kesar Badam Milk/Saffron Almond Milk

Kesar Badam milk
Kesar badam milk is very healthy drink which is rich in protein and calcium. The drink is prepared with milk, almonds and saffron strands. Almonds are low in carbohydrates and good in protein and fiber. Saffron strand has subtle flavor and imparts nice yellow colour when added to hot water/milk. Almond powder is prepared and added to the boiling milk. Saffron strands are added to two tbsp of hot milk and the mixture is added to the boiling milk. Required amount of sugar and crushed cardamom powder are added. Here I present  energy drink kesar badam milk which can be served either hot or chilled. Njoy Cooking, Serving n Savoring!
