Masala Milk Pre-Mix / Dryfruit Powder Milk Recipe

I and my brother used to hate eating dry fruits and drinking milk in our childhood. My parents tried their best to give us soaked dry fruits, dry fruits in halwa or paratha, and in different forms. We still picked out dry fruits and kept aside.

My father once came up with the recipe of Masala Milk which is made with powdered dry fruits, cardamom, sugar, saffron, turmeric, milk powder, and milk. Every time during monsoon and winter season, this is one pre-mix that he always prepares for us.

Masala Milk has many health benefits. It is a soothing, calming, and nutritious beverage packed with antioxidants, vitamin E, and zinc.
