Badam milk is a traditional Indian beverage said to energize the body, balance the mind and improve health. In Hindi, the beverage is called badam doodh – badam means almonds and doodh refers to milk. Traditionally, it is made by soaking, blending and adding almonds, cardamom and saffron to boiled cow’s milk, but many people today opt for a dairy-free option. “Almond badam milk is considered helpful in increasing memory,” Mukesh Patel of Bhavani Cash and Carry – a Dublin Indian-based grocery store – says. “In the older days, people soaked almonds overnight in water and, in the morning, grind them and mix with milk. Almond’s nutrition enhances after soaking in water.” Patel says badam can be served hot or cold, and that the choice is purely a preference. He recommends milk rusk tea snacks for dipping.
