Traditionally chilled: First, put three or four tablespoons of almond beverage into a glass, then top it off with ice and water. Drink, and enjoy.
Nutty Delight: For added texture and flavor, sprinkle some toasted almonds or a few almond slivers on top.
Sweeten It Up: Add a tiny bit of honey or maple syrup if you would like it sweeter.
Spiced Almond: Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced twist.
Fruit Infusion: For a tasty and nutritious fruity almond drink, blend with fresh or frozen berries.
With Coffee: Blend into a creamy almond coffee beverage by adding a shot of espresso.
Smoothie Base: Blend in your preferred fruits to give your smoothies an extra nutritional boost.
Storage Suggestions
To keep almond concentrate fresh in the fridge for up to 2 months, store it in a clean, airtight glass jar.
Freezing: To extend the shelf life and preserve the concentrate longer, freeze the badam syrup in ice cube trays.
Transfer the cooled syrup to an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a Ziplock bag or another freezer-safe container and return them to the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy, add the badam syrup cubes to a glass and pour chilled water or milk over them. Enjoy a cool almond sharbat after stirring it a good bit

Ingredients
500 gms almonds
750 gms cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1 cup water (for cooking)
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
Directions
- Wash and soak the Almonds
- Pour enough water over the almonds in a bowl to cover them.
- Soak the almonds for a minimum of 6-8 hours or overnight. This softens the almonds and makes them easier to blend.
- Peel the Almonds
- Drain the soaked almonds and rinse them under cold water.
- Gently squeeze each almond to remove the skins. The skins should come off easily after soaking.
- Transfer the peeled almonds to a food processor or blender. Add a little water (about 1/2 cup) to help blend the almonds
- Blend the almonds until you achieve a fine, smooth almond paste. Add more water if needed, but keep the paste thick.
- In a saucepan add water, sugar, and cardamom powder and let it cook for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves completely
- Now add the almond paste. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking and burning. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Continue to cook the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a syrupy consistency (about 10-15 minutes). The consistency should be slightly thick but pourable.
- Remove the pan from heat and allow the almond syrup to cool completely.
- Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of almond syrup to a glass to serve badam ka sharbat.
- Fill the glass with chilled water or milk, and stir well.
- Garnish with a few slivers of almonds or a sprinkle of cardamom powder if desired.
- Store any leftover almond syrup in the refrigerator. It can be kept for up to 2-3 weeks.
