Sprouted Bajra Milk
Ingredients
For Bajra Milk
1 cup bajra (pearl millet)
3–4 cups water (for soaking)
4 cups fresh water (for blending)
For Serving (1–2 glasses)
2 cups chilled bajra milk
2–3 dates
¼ tsp cardamom powder
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Ice cubes
Seasonal fruits like mango
Instructions
Wash the bajra thoroughly and soak it overnight in water.
The next day, strain the water and tie the soaked bajra in a clean cloth.
Leave it in a warm place for 24 hours until small sprouts appear. We are only sprouting until tiny tails begin to appear on the seeds.
Transfer the sprouted bajra to a high-speed blender.
Add fresh water and blend until completely smooth.
Strain the mixture using a muslin cloth, nut milk bag, or fine sieve.
The liquid collected is your bajra milk.
Cook the milk on low heat for 5–7 minutes while stirring gently.
Let it cool completely.
Store the milk in a clean bottle or jar in the refrigerator.
Blend chilled bajra milk with dates, cardamom, vanilla extract, and ice. Add seasonal fruits if you want.
Serve cold as a refreshing summer drink.
Soaking helps cool the natural “heating” nature of bajra.
Sprouting makes it easier to digest compared to regular milk.
Bajra is rich in minerals and naturally high in iron and magnesium.
