Nothing feels more comforting than a cup of Hot Milk before going to bed for a quick sleep.

I prepared this “Healthy Milk” using Melon seeds, Almonds, Cashew Nuts, Pistachios and Poppy Seeds, which made the drink rich, creamy, and highly nutritious.

For a delightful aroma and flavour, I added green cardamom that gave a soothing and refreshing touch to the milk.

To keep it healthy and suitable for everyone, you can sweeten it with honey, sugar-free sweetener or Mishri (Crystallise sugar) as per your choice and preference.

Hot milk is good for all age group; especially kids and senior citizens. For children, it provides essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamins that helps in strong bone development, healthy growth, and improved immunity.
