Craving for a glass of chilled milkshake in the scorching heat wave? And want to make it at home to avoid unhealthy ingredients? Then you have come to the right place.

In the blazing heat of summer, when we feel exhausted after a few minutes of sun exposure, then we think of icy cool beverages as our savior, to stay cool and hydrated. In the Indian market what we get in the name of the beverage is basically Sulphur washed, chemically refined sugar with artificial color and flavor. So, it’s better for your health to prepare your favorite milkshake at home by using healthy ingredients like mishri, jaggery powder, or honey. In this way, you can have the authentic taste of your favorite ingredients. So, let’s start this list of milkshakes with recipes that will be super-duper easy to make at home –

Gulkand shake to cool your body instantly

Gulkand, a sweet preserve of rose petals, is one of the mouth-watering ingredients for your milkshake. To make the authentic Gulkand shake, simply add two to three tablespoons of gulkand, add 300ml of chilled milk, and blend it well until it’s smooth and frothy. That’s it, pour it into a glass and your delicious gulkand shake is ready to hop on. It’s a natural blood purifier, eye tonic and also helps your skin to achieve glow and smoothness. If you want to extract all the benefits from your gulkand shake, do not add any artificial color, sweetener, or ice cream to it.

Milk almond shake, loaded with the goodness of almond

The classic milk almond shake can beat most of the milkshakes available in the market because of its taste and health benefits. You can make it so easily, without even a mixer. Soak a few almonds in water for at least six hours. Then peel the almonds and crush them with the help of a mortar until it becomes a paste. Then take a pan and pour one glass of milk, one glass of water, saffron, one cardamom, and finally the almond paste. Let it be boiled for 45 minutes and your hot favorite almond milk is ready to serve. You can add mishri powder to sweeten it. Let it cool and add some ice cubes and enjoy your icy-cooled almond shake.

These are not only tasty but beneficial for health as well. The best time to have them is between 11 am and 4 pm when the sun is harsh on us. So, stay hydrated with these healthy options of milkshakes.
