Notes
Remember to always soak the almonds. You can opt to soak them for 30 minutes in hot water or consider soaking them for 8 hours in room temperature water.
Peel the almonds to get a smooth, fine and creamy consistency in the badam milk.
Ensure that the almonds are ground to a fine or superfine consistency. A coarsely ground mixture of the almonds will irritate the throat.
Make a vegan variation by adding your preferred plant based milk.
