Jump to Recipe   

In this shake today, Pistachios, Saffron, spices and voila! Grind everything to a powdery consistency. Store in an airtight container. Blend with cold non dairy milk, chill for a few minutes and serve as is or with a dollop of whipped coconut cream! Ready within minutes whenever you need some and so good.

Saffron, cardamom, ginger, fennel and poppy seeds add a deep flavor to the mix. Pistachios by themselves are insanely delicious blended into non dairy milk. Add sugar to the mix or add sweetener of choice later.

Keep this one handy for a quick chilled Saffron Pistachio Milk Shake or as we call is Kesar Pista Masala Milk. This will also make fabulous ice cream. Blend the mix with full fat coconut milk, taste to adjust sweet and pour into an ice cream maker.

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

    Blend 2 Tbsp or more of the mix with a cup of non dairy milk. Use a blender. Taste and adjust sweet if needed. Chill the blended mixture for a few minutes so the saffron gets some time to infuse the drink. Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
