My Notes To Make Perfect Thandai,
- Soaking time you can increase by 3 hours or more. If you didn’t get time to soak nuts, but want to make thandai immedietely still you can make it by dry powder the soaking ingredients. But Thandai powder will disturb while drinking so i perfer to be in thandai paste form.
- You can make the thandai paste and store in fridge whenever you want you can just mix with milk and have.
- I didnt add sugar while grinding the paste may be some people wont consume sugar and it is good to add sugar while serving the chilled thandai drink is the good idea.
- You can get the thandai syrup in market that in liquid and concentrate form you mix it with milk.
- Thandai benefits are more and it very good for health. It is too good energy drink also so dont skip the healthy ingredients for the Preparation of Thandai.
