Almond Panna
TOTAL PREP TIME: 5-10 MINUTES
On a cold winter’s night, there is nothing more soothing than a warming drink to aid a restful sleep. Commonly known as Almond Panna, this is widely used in India to warm the body with an array of spices.

Grinding whole spices is ideal but for convenience you can also use ground spices. To save cost and ensure purity, it is best to make your own almond milk – it’s actually quite simple! Plus, once you’ve strained the milk, you can use the remnants of almond meal for baking!
You can make the warming drink and keep it in the fridge for 4-5 days in a large glass bottle. This way, all you have to do is heat it up!
Almond Panna
Ingredients
- Milk of your choice (I use homemade almond milk. Recipe is below)
- 1 tbsp cardamom powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp clove powder
- ½ tbsp black pepper powder
- ¼ tsp nutmeg powder
- 7-8 strands of saffron
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp dry ginger powder
- Honey to taste
Method
- Gently heat the milk on the stove over a low heat
- Add all the spices
- Keep stirring on low heat for 5 minutes
- Add honey for sweetness before serving the drink
Note: You can adjust the amount of each spice as needed for your palette.
Variation: You can also add 1 tbsp of cacao powder and just like that, you have turned almond panna into almond chocolate panna. Alternatively, garnish it with slivers of unsalted pistachio kernels.
