Author: Vegan Richa

Recipe type: Drinks

Cuisine: Indian

Serves: 3

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp raw pistachio
• 1 tbsp raw cashews
• 3 tbsp sugar (or add sweetener of choice later)
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ to ½ tsp cardamom powder
• ⅛ tsp cloves
• ⅛ tsp fennel seeds (optional)
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp poppy seeds
• 8 to 10 strands of saffron

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Grind the nuts to a coarse powder. Add sugar and the rest of the ingredients and grind until well blended.
2. Store in an airtight container.
3. Blend 2 Tbsp or more of the mix with a cup of non dairy milk. Use a blender. Taste and adjust sweet if needed. Chill the blended mixture for a few minutes so the saffron gets some time to infuse the drink. Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped coconut cream.

NOTES

Variation: Toast the raw nuts lightly on a skillet for a minute or 2. Cool then grind.
Add ¼ tsp turmeric for color.
Add ice for iced masala milk.
Omit the sugar from the mix and use sweetener of choice when blending.
