Thandai recipe a very popular drink in North India made during Mahasivarathri and Holi.Thandai is a great body coolant so as the name is.Yes thandai means cool/cooling derived from the word ‘thanda’ in hindi means cold.

 

This thandai syrup gets easily mixed with milk, you can just whisk the syrup with chilled milk and have it instantly….Soo refreshing for this hot summer.
