Method
 

  1. Rinse almonds, cashews and pistachios. Soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes. If dates are hard, soak them too until soft.

  3. Add pitted dates, raisins (if using), 1 cup of cold milk and cardamom powder into the blender.
  4. Blend everything into a smooth paste. If consistency is too thick, add remaining 1 cup milk.
  5. Add ice cubes if you like a chilled shake. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

Best consumed fresh. You can adjust quantity of dates or raisins for natural sweetness. For vegan version, use plant-based milk.
