Thandai Masala Powder- A very healthy and refreshing powder mix to make Thandai
In India we prefer to make so many healthy and delicious coolers during summer. They are homemade and made with cooling herbs,spices and fruit and vegetable juices . You can consume them when ever you want without worrying about the side effects on your health or the artificial colour and preservatives loaded in it. All the ingredients are healthy and natural and are o easily available.
I love to make sharbats and dry powders to make instant drinks like this Mogra phool ka sharbat which I tried last year.This refreshing Watermelon cooler , Taza Gulab ka sharbat, Kokum sharbat, Angoor ka sharbat are regular in my kitchen every summer.
The traditional way of making thandai is to soak the nuts overnight then grind them finely using sil baata/ grindstone and then it is filtered twice through a muslin cloth. I have already posted the recipe of making fresh thandai- kesariya thandai. but it needs some planning and is quite time consumin but taste awesome !!
Now we all look for short easy ways to make things .Usually in our famiuly we prefer to make thandai in the traditional way but as it is not possible to make it often so I makes a large bottles of this Kesariya thandai concentrate during summer, just mix this thandai syrup in chilled milk and enjoy delicious thandai in a minute.
