Notes
Badam tea, also known as almond tea, is a warm and comforting beverage that combines the flavors of almonds, milk, and spices.
It is a popular drink in India, especially during the winter months, known for its rich and creamy taste.
The primary ingredient in Badam tea is almonds, which are soaked, peeled, and ground into a fine paste or powder. This almond base gives the tea its distinct flavor and nutty aroma.
Other common ingredients in Badam tea include milk, sugar, cardamom, saffron, and sometimes rose water or other flavorings.
The tea is typically prepared by heating milk and water in a pan and adding the almond paste/powder, sugar, and spices. It is then simmered until the flavors meld together.
Badam tea can be served plain or garnished with sliced almonds, saffron strands, or a sprinkle of ground cardamom for added visual appeal.
The drink is enjoyed both as a morning beverage and as an evening treat, often accompanied by snacks or biscuits.
Badam tea is believed to have several health benefits, including being a good source of protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants from almonds.
It is also a popular choice for special occasions and festivals in India, where it is served to guests as a gesture of hospitality and warmth.
Badam tea can be customized according to personal preference by adjusting the sweetness, spiciness, or the intensity of almond flavor.
It is important to note that Badam tea contains nuts and dairy, so it may not be suitable for individuals with allergies or dietary restrictions.
