Kesar Pista Masala Milk Mix - Saffron Pistachio Beverage
Description
This mix consists of raw nuts ground to a coarse powder combined with sugar and a blend of aromatic spices including cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, fennel seeds, ginger, black pepper, and poppy seeds. Bright orange saffron strands are added to impart their color and distinct fragrance. The mixture is stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
When preparing the beverage, two tablespoons or more of the mix is blended into a cup of non-dairy milk, such as coconut milk, to produce a smooth, flavorful drink. Chilling the mixture after blending allows the saffron to infuse, intensifying the flavor. It can be served as is or topped with whipped coconut cream for a richer texture. Variations include toasting the nuts before grinding for a deeper flavor or adding turmeric for color.
The warming spices and rich nuts offer a complex flavor profile suitable as a soothing drink, especially in cooler seasons or as an indulgent treat. Adjust sweetness as preferred when blending, and serve cold over ice for a refreshing version.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp pistachio raw
- 1 tbsp cashew nuts raw

- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1/8 tsp fennel seeds optional
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
