Happy Holi my dear readers!
Keeping it short and quick today. I'm sure most of you are already in a celebratory mood, planning Holi with your friends and family! While you're doing all that, I've got you one super easy and fun treat - Strawberry Thandai Popsicles!!
All you need is some strawberries, yogurt, rosewater, the sweetener of your choice, and thandai masala mix. Five ingredients, five minutes of your time and you'll have a delightful frozen dessert waiting for you when you're back from your Holi revelry 🙂
This is definitely not a treat just for one day though. Thandai is a wonderful cooling drink that's perfect for our hot summers. Homemade versions are so much better than what we get in the market. Why not have a jar of the instant thandai masala mix ready in the fridge for all the amazing lassis/milkshakes that are coming our way soon? Maybe a couple of spoonfuls in your homemade kulfi or ice cream? In your chilled kheer or chia puddings? The possibilities are endless!
Coming back to this recipe, as I mentioned, it's really so simple. These popsicles are bursting with fresh juicy strawberries. The nutty spicy thandai taste pairs beautifully with them. There is a hint of rosewater in here which gives it an exquisite delicate flavour. It's completely optional and they would be just as fabulous without it.
Half the joy of cooking is sharing it with others. That’s why I’m always eager to hear from you. So go right ahead & drop a comment or reach out on Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, or Facebook. I hope you love these strawberry thandai popsicles as much as we do!
