Almond Milk
I learned how to make Badam Kheer (Almond Milk) from my mother a long time ago. It is a mainstay for many holidays and get-togethers. Rich in taste, Badam Kheer is prepared from ground almonds, milk, sugar, cardamom, and saffron and is served hot. Last year, my daughter introduced me to a variation, by making raw almond milk without milk and sugar. It’s served cold, and is very light and refreshing! Now I make this often for friends and family.
I soaked the almonds in water for over 8 hours and then blended with dates and vanilla pods. Then I sifted using cheese cloth and served it chilled. I also made another batch with cardamom and saffron to give it the Indian touch!
My mother wrote this brief recipe for Badam Kheer (Baadaami Paal) long time ago. Baadaami means Almonds and Paal means milk.
