4 to 5 kesar peda
2 cups chilled milk
A pinch of cardamom powder
A few saffron strands soaked in warm milk
Sugar as needed
Chopped pistachios for garnish
How to Make Mithai Milkshake
Step 1: Prepare the saffron milk
Soak a few saffron strands in 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm milk for a few minutes. This helps release the beautiful color and aroma of saffron.
Step 2: Blend the ingredients
In a blender, add:
- kesar peda
- chilled milk
- cardamom powder
- saffron milk
- sugar (if needed)
Blend everything until smooth, creamy, and frothy.
If you wish you can strain the mixture, as i have done this coz alot of ghee had accumulated on the top.
Step 3: Taste and adjust
Taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness if required. Since peda is already sweet, you may not need much sugar.
Step 4: Serve chilled
Pour the milkshake into serving glasses and garnish with chopped pistachios.
Serve immediately and enjoy this royal, dessert-like drink.
Tips for the Best Mithai Milkshake
You can also refrigerate the glasses before serving for a more café-style feel.
Use well-chilled milk for the best refreshing taste.
Adjust sugar carefully because peda already adds sweetness.
For a thicker milkshake, reduce the milk slightly.
Add a few ice cubes if serving on a hot day.
