MASALA MILK
Masala Milk is a delicious concoction of milk and spices with lots of nuts and sugar.I tried this milk at the temple city of Kumbakonam in a restaurant.Though I have made this several times at home,I am blogging about this now only.This is one traditional milk drink made in all households which is full of nutrients and calcium.My daughter who is fussy in drinking milk at times loved this and I was truly satisfied.While growing up mom used to give pepper and turmeric milk whenever I caught cold and flu.This has an added advantage of nuts and spices which when infused in milk will give strong yet pleasing flavouring to the milk.This aromatic milk will be liked by all and I am sure you will be making this often.

I have made this recipe by soaking and grinding the nuts and adding them to the milk.You can also powder the nuts and spices and add them to the milk as and when required.Also you can mix milk powder with this mixture and store it for about a month in fridge.This milk when had at night gives you sound sleep and relaxes your mind.As I told you before the version I had in the restaurant had palm jaggery in it which gives an unique taste to the milk.You can add it in place of sugar,if you get hold of that.So what are you waiting for?Try this recipe immediately and let me know..
