You can also add melon seeds with almonds to make it creamier. - **Saffron** adds a rich flavor along with a beautiful yellow-orange hue. - **Milk** - For a creamy texture, use chilled whole milk (full-fat milk). You can also use low-fat or skim milk. To make it vegan, you can use plant-based milk such as oat, soy, almond, or coconut. - **Cardamom powder** - Do not miss it; it instantly enhances the taste of this drink. If you do not have cardamom powder, crush the cardamom seeds and add them to the drink. - **Sugar** - I like to use granulated white sugar to make this drink. ## How To Make Badam Sharbat **Step 1:** Rinse 250 g of almonds with water and soak them in 3 cups of cold water for 8-10 hours. ![Soaked almonds.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Badam-Sharbat-Step-1.jpg) **Step 2:** Drain the water, rinse the almonds once again, and remove their skin. ![Skin of the almonds removed.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Badam-Sharbat-Step-3.jpg) **Step 3:** Add the peeled almonds to a blender along with 1 and 1/2 cups of water and 1 pinch of saffron strands, then blend until smooth. ![Almonds, saffrona nd water added to a blender.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Badam-Sharbat-Step-4.jpg) ![Smooth paste made.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Badam-Sharbat-Step-5.jpg) **Step 4:** Add 6 cups of water and almond paste to a large pot, then heat over medium, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom of the pan from scorching. ![Water and almond paste added to a large pot.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Badam-Sharbat-Step-6.jpg) **Step 5:** Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently. ![Mixed well.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Badam-Sharbat-Step-7.jpg) **Step 6:** Add 3 cups of sugar and cook for another 5 minutes.

The sharbat concentrate is ready. Let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 6 months. I like to freeze this sharbat in small containers. This way, I can pull out one container and use it for 3-4 days without spoiling the rest. ![Ready badam sharbat concentrate.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Badam-Sharbat-Step-9.jpg) **Step 10:** To make the sharbat, add 1/2 cup of concentrate to a tall glass. Top the glass with chilled milk, add a few ice cubes, and stir well. Serve chilled. In winter, you can add the concentrate to hot milk and sip it hot. ## Other Indian Beverage Recipes We Recommend [![Dates Milkshake (Khajoor Milkshake) is a delicious and nutritious drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
