Total Calories: 328

Ingredients

3/4 cup , shelled raw almonds
1/2 cup mixed melon seeds (char-magaz)

1 tablespoon Dessert Masala
1 teaspoon black peppercorn
Seeds from 20 to 25 green cardamom pods
4 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
1 drop rose essence or 1 tablespoon rose water
a few pesticide-free red rose petals (optional)
Crushed ice

Directions:

1. Soak the almonds overnight in water to cover by 2 inches. Drain and peel off the loosened brown skin. Soak the melon seeds at least 1 hour in water to cover. Meanwhile, prepare the dessert masala.

2. In a blender, process together the almonds, melon seeds, black peppercorns, cardamom seeds, 1 cup milk, and sugar until smooth. Add the remaining milk, saffron, and rose essence, and blend again until smooth and frothy.

3. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend the flavors. Garnish with the dessert masala and rose petals, if using, and serve over crushed ice.

VARIATION: For a quicker and easier version, make a dry blend that can be mixed into the mild as the need arises. Do not soak the almonds instead, buy blanched raw almonds and grind them together with all the other dry ingredients to make a fine powder. Add to cold milk, along with the rose essence, and serve.
