Trupti, HAPPY HOLI to you n this is one beautiful drink , thks for sharing recipe n method. The pic of glass full is really tempting n loved the red polka background!Tks for sharing!
The almond spiced milk sounds delicious... I imagine the fragrance of the rose water, cardamoms and the mixture of almonds with the other spices, that must be terribly good. Interesting recipe; this is something I've never tasted.
