1 4 hrs 10 min. 5 minutes 4 hrs 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
  • Sugar - 1 1/2 cups
  • Gulkand - 2 tbsp
  • Rose Water/Rose Essence - 1 tsp
  • Black Pepper - 1 1/2 tsp
  • Green Cardamom - 6
  • Saffron - 1/2 tsp (soaked in 1 tbsp hot water for 20 min.)

To soak
  • Almonds - 3 tbsp
  • Cashew Nuts - 1 tbsp
  • Pistachio - 1 1/2 tbsp
  • Poppy Seeds - 1 tbsp
  • Melon Seeds - 1 tbsp
  • Water - to soak
RECIPE STEPS:
  1. In a bowl, add the ingredients mentioned under "To Soak" followed by a cup of water and keep aside for 4 hours. Over night is best!
  2. Add the soaked mix to a blender along with pepper, cardamom, rose water, gulkand. Blend to a smooth paste.
  3. Heat a saucepan, add the sugar along with a cup of water. Once the sugar dissolves, add the saffron along with the paste. Stir well and cook for 15 minutes.
  4. I like my concentrate on the thin side, so i keep adding some water if it gets too thick. Once cooked for 15 mins, let it cool to room temp.
  5. For making thandai, take 1 cup of milk and about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of this and give a whiz. Serve cold!
RECIPE NOTES :

If you make your concentrate thin like me, you would need to add less of it while making thandai. Totally upto you.
