Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- ½ cup almonds
- 2 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoon ground green cardamom
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon saffron
Instructions
- Soak the almonds in hot water for about 20 mins or soak them in regular room temperature water overnight.
- Bring the milk to a boil along with the saffron and cardamom and let it simmer.
- Meanwhile, peel the almonds (just slide the skin off the almond and it should slip right through) and reserve about 10 almonds.
- Grind the rest to a very fine paste without adding any water.
- Add this almond paste to the simmering milk and let it cook for 4-5 mins in it. Keep the heat to medium-low and keep stirring it, so the milk does not stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
- Meanwhile, slice the reserve 10 almonds and add them to the milk. Add sugar and stir till the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, warm or cold.
