Milk Thandai

by Sean Paajanen
for About.com

Though not a tea drink, I thought this spicy milk drink would appeal to all the chai fans. Thandai drinks are popular in India during the colour festival of Holi.

Ingredients:

  • 15 almonds
  • 2 tsp aniseed
  • 2 tsp poppy seeds
  • 8 cardamom pods
  • 12 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp peppercorns
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 300ml water
  • 400ml milk
  • 4 tsp crushed ice

Preparation:

Grind all the spices, with the almonds separate. Blend together in a large bowl, and add water and milk. Strain through cheesecloth until liquid is smooth. Serve cold.
Serves 4-5
