Summer special
Thandai is a refreshing summer drink popular in India and is always served during festivals of Holi and also Mahashivratri. It’s also known as Shardai.
For Holi, bhang (the leaves and flower heads of cannabis) in little amount is added to thandai but my version is minus the bhang since this is what we were allowed to drink when we were kids. No getting high for us!
Thandai is made using a number of nuts and spices which are said to have a cooling effect on the body and hence the name “Thandai”, which in Hindi means “cooling”.
