Thandai Masala Powder- A very healthy and refreshing powder mix to make Thandai

Thandai masala powder- In India we prefer to make so many healthy and delicious coolers during summer. They are homemade and made with cooling herbs,fruits and vegetable juices . You can consume them when ever you want without worrying about the side effects on your health or the artificial colour and preservatives loaded in it. All the ingredients are healthy, natural and are easily available.

I love to make sharbats and dry powders to make instant drinks like this Mogra phool ka sharbat which I tried last year.This refreshing Watermelon cooler , , Angoor ka sharbat  are regular in my kitchen every summer.

The traditional way of making thandai is to soak the nuts overnight then grind them finely using sil baata/ grindstone and then it is filtered twice through a muslin cloth. I have already posted the recipe of making fresh thandai– kesariya thandai. but it needs some planning and is quite time consuming  but taste awesome !!

Now we all look for shortcuts and easy ways to make things .Usually in our family we prefer to make thandai in the traditional way but as it is not possible to make it often so I makes large bottles of this Kesariya thandai concentrate during summer, just mix this thandai syrup in chilled milk and enjoy delicious thandai in a minute.

Some of my readers requested me to post thandai masala powder recipe and as Holi is coming in just few days so posting this quick and easy Thandai masala powder recipe for you all to enjoy chilled refreshing thandai on this festival of colours Holi.

How to make Thandai powder

There are two methods of making Thandai powder, one is Instant and the other one takes little time

1- Instant Thandai powder- which I am sharing here today

2 Method is- Soak the almonds and pistachio overnight and then peel the skins and after that sun dry the peeled almond and pistachio till they dry completely and then follow the same process as I am sharing today.
