Ingredients
Milk – I like to use whole milk (full-fat milk) because it makes my drink rich and creamy.
Vanilla Ice Cream – Use good-quality vanilla ice cream.
Thandai Masala Powder – I prefer homemade thandai powder, but if you are short on time, you can use a packaged one from the store.
Ice Cubes – Optional but highly recommended!
Whipped Cream – Top the ready drink with whipped cream for a perfect frappe look.
