Add a pinch of saffron (kesar) to half a cup of luke warm regular or almond milk and let it rest till you prepare the rest of the ingredients. This lets the colour and flavour infuse with the milk. Blanche 1-2 blanched de-seeded dry dates (add as per your taste).
Pour 1 1/2 cups of chilled almond (badaam) milk in a blender. Add the ground ingredients and sugar (optional) and blend for few seconds.
Note: It is better to blend the dates alone first and then add the other ingredients, as dates may not crush up well when blended along with the milk.
