When the chill of winter sets in, nothing beats a warm, comforting glass of Kesar Elaichi Doodh. Not only does it keep your body warm, but it also boosts immunity, keeping you healthy and energetic during the colder months. This drink, infused with the goodness of saffron, cardamom, and dry fruits, is perfect for a cozy evening.

Here’s how to make this delicious and healthy drink:

Main Ingredients:

• 350 ml Milk (300 ml for boiling + 50 ml for soaking saffron)
• 20 Saffron Strands (Kesar)
• 1 teaspoon Cardamom Powder (Elaichi)

Sweeteners (Optional):

• Sugar, Date Paste, or Jaggery Powder (to taste)

For Color & Warmth:

• A Pinch of Turmeric (Haldi)

Nuts:

• Chopped Pistachios
• Chopped Almonds
• Chopped Cashews

For Garnish:

• Rose Petals

Instructions:

1. Soak Saffron: Start by soaking 20 strands of saffron in 50 ml of milk. This helps release the color and fragrance of the saffron.
2. Boil Milk: In a saucepan, bring 300 ml of milk to a boil. Keep stirring to prevent it from burning.
3. Add Saffron Milk: Once the milk starts boiling, add the saffron-infused milk to it. The milk will turn a beautiful golden color.
4. Spice It Up: Now, add a teaspoon of cardamom powder for that fragrant, soothing flavor. A pinch of turmeric will not only give the milk a richer color but will also provide added warmth.
5. Sweeten: If you like your milk sweet, add sugar, date paste, or jaggery powder as per your taste. You can also skip this step if you prefer it unsweetened.
6. Add Dry Fruits: Toss in some chopped pistachios, almonds, and cashews for crunch and flavor. Let everything simmer together for 1-2 minutes.
7. Serve Hot: Pour the hot Kesar Elaichi Doodh into a glass and garnish with a few rose petals for that extra touch of elegance.
