Almond & Melon Milk (Badaamin Karboocha)

Almond & Melon Milk (Badaamin Karboocha)

This traditional drink is sweet and milky, but has a real kick to it. It includes one of my favourite spices – cardamom – a really aromatic spice with a warming, spicy - almost smoky flavour. This drink makes a great mid-afternoon snack, as it is filling enough to keep you going until dinner - or try it for dessert - it really is something different.
