My toddler is 20mths old today. I can’t believe how fast she is growing. She is trying to say whatever we say. It’s so much fun to watch her grow. Coming to today’s recipe I wanted something cold and healthy too. It was so good. My husband and daughter loved them.

Now grind the almonds with some milk. Make it into a smooth paste.

Add the ground mixture into the rest of the milk.
