#mahashivratri #thandai a traditional vrat drink, I'm not quite cool enough to do the full fast as my belly has been giving me grief, so I'm only doing the sunset to sunrise fast. This drink is super rich, made from (lactose free) whole milk, roses, sugar, rosewater, almonds, cashews, pistachio, melon seeds, poppy seeds, fennel, peppercorns, saffron, cinnamon and nutmeg... And vetiver but I couldn't get my hands on that... Also I made mine with a bit of black tea to make it a #chaitea because #thandaichai has a great ring to it. Anyway you pulverize all the nuts and spices and boil them in milk, strain and then cool for a very sweet, rich, filling, and refreshing drink. My only complaint is that I made too small a batch 😂 wishing everyone who celebrating a wonderful night! #tea #indianfood #hinduism #spirituality #shaivism #harharmahadev #omnamahshivaya #shivratri #drink #sweets #cooking #saffron #roses #milkygoodness
