Almond & Saffron Milk Shake

  Almonds are one of the most delicious nuts. They are enriched with many health benefiting nutrients that are essential for optimum health.
  The almond that we think of as a nut is technically the seed of the fruit of the almond tree.
  I am very happy to share a delightful summer treat here.

Almonds - 20
Milk - 4 cups
Saffron - 1 pinch
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Rose essence - 2 drops
