Rose badam milk recipe, badam rose milk - Raks Kitchen (2024)

Rose badam milk is made with almonds, milk and added rose flavor. I have also added saffron, cardamom and there is a very subtle flavour of edible camphor too which is optional.

Inspiration

I have never heard or thought about this rose badam milk until two weeks back when I saw at Chennai airport. When we finished check in and turned back, there was Sri Krishna sweets in which Vj wanted to buy some goodies for his friends.

I was super hungry and saw this rose badam milk over there in the front. I am big fan of badam milk and rose milk as well. If anything is there with both in one drink, would I miss it?

I got it and gulped before queuing for emigration, while Vj was filling the form (I filled my tummy😋). It was really good, but I knew if I try on my own I can customize to suit my taste. I felt like having it again and made it.

Top Tip

• For three cups milk, 10 almonds are just enough for flavor and richness. If you add more, it will make the drink thick and strong.
• The 3 badam we chop and add is the best I like in this drink. I love it while we are drinking, we get something to bite on. If you don’t like skip, but highly recommended.
• If you are concerned about artificial flavor, skip it and add pure edible rose water. Add ¼ cup in place of the rose syrup.
• In that case, for color you can use either commercially available Natural pink food color or add some beetroot juice for pink hue.
• Note that we have to add more sugar if rose water is added. My rose syrup is sweetened rose syrup.
• Since we add rose milk syrup, I add less sugar. The rose syrup can be adjusted according to the sweetness you need.
• Keep stirring after adding badam mixture as it might get stuck. Also keep an eye so that it doesn’t overflows.

I have posted badam kheer before, but I love badam milk (thin version) more. So I made the thin version like the one you find with MTR badam drink. You can adapt this recipe for badam milk (badam paal) too if you want to have it simply as badam drink.

But please try rose badam milk too once atleast if you are a rose milk and badam milk lover like me.

4. Add the saffron milk, sugar, powdered cardamom (edible camphor if adding) to the milk.

5. Finely chop badam we reserved and add to the milk.

6. Add ground badam and milk mixture and bring to boil. Simmer for a minute and switch off the flame.

Always serve chilled. All the flavor together makes an exotic drink. If you serve this for your guests or family members, they will really be wowed.
