Beverages
In North India, temperatures in summer can reach 110° and stay there for some

cold coffee and other nut shakes with cardamom the Indian answer to vanilla. So next

When North India is bristling under its hot summers and one is not inclined

drink. It is also popular for festive occasions and served while entertaining
guests. It is a popular drink at elaborate Indian weddings. |

Bring the water to boil in a small sauce pan. Add the spices. Remove from heat
and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Make a fine paste of all the nuts and poppy seeds along with the heated spices. Pour
into a strainer lined with a damp cloth and set over a clean bowl. Squeeze all the
milk out of the nuts by tightening the cloth by wringing it. You may use the nut
