This kesar badam milk is a popular Indian elixir that brings warmth and deliciousness to a cup. Here mixed nut paste is simmered with milk and crushed spices to bring together a delicious and super-healthy drink perfect for those who are looking for some comfort in the winter.

It takes no more than 10 minutes to bring this home together and serve it up rustic style in terracotta glasses. Those with nut allergy might just skip this one but rest, I assure you, it’s like a delicious saffron and nut dessert in a glass.
