Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp pistachio raw
  • 1 tbsp cashew nuts raw
  • 3 tbsp sugar or add sweetener of choice later
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 1/8 tsp fennel seeds optional
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp poppy seeds
  • 8 to 10 saffron strands

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  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

  • For a deeper flavor, lightly toast raw nuts in a skillet for 1-2 minutes before grinding and cooling.
  • Add 1/4 teaspoon turmeric to the mix for enhanced color.
  • Serve chilled by adding ice to create an iced masala milk variant.
  • Omit the sugar in the mix if preferred and sweeten when blending the drink to taste.
  • Nutritional values are based on one serving of the prepared beverage.
