Refreshing Indian Traditional Spicy Cold Drink from Uttar Pradesh. Authnentic Recipe of Thandai.

Things to know about Thandai Recipe

The Indian Traditional Spicy Cold Drink or Thandai is a refreshing drink made with condiments and nuts. The drink is popular in Uttar Pradesh and parts of Rajasthan. The word “thandai” originates from the Hindi word “Thanda” which means “cold”. This is because the spicy drink is served chilled. Thandai is often prepared on Holi and Maha Shivaratri, two Hindu festivals. On Holi, when colored solution powders are sprayed on one another, Bhang Thandai is prepared. Bhang Thandai is a variation of the drink that includes cannabis and causes an intoxicating effect when consumed. Other popular variants include Mango Thandai, Badaam Kesar Thandai, and Rose Thandai. Badaam Kesar Thandai has almonds and saffron while rose thandai is garnished with rose petals. Very easy to prepare, Thandai can also be made during weekends in summer.
