The two dishes which are the quintessential part of the Holi festival celebration are – Thandai and Ghujia. Thandai is a traditional Indian drink. It is widely popular for its medicinal and cooling health benefits. Here are some Health Benefits of Thandai by the industry experts:
It is an excellent energy booster, especially during the summer season. Thandai aids in digestion and helps in cooling down the body. It is also a sort of anti-depressant and helps in improving the mood It is a fantastic immunity booster and keeps you safe from heat strokes.
The Paan Thandai
If you are bored of the classic thandai flavour, try this refreshing paan thandai. It has the creaminess of thandai combined with the taste of betel leaves. I use my instant thandai powder to make this thandai recipe. You also need betel leaves (paan), gulkand, sugar, milk, and ice cubes to make this thandai. All you need to do is mix it all in a blender. And serve thandai chilled.

Serving Suggestion
Serve paan thandai chilled or at room temperature. I like to add a few cubes to it while serving. Please note that thandai is a milk-based drink. Hence, do not leave it at room temperature for more than 2 – 3 hours, especially in a hot and humid climate. It is always best to store it in the refrigerator. You can make the instant thandai powder in advance and store it for 6 months in the refrigerator. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter or follow us on Instagram for video recipes.
