Thandai in Varanasi

← What to eat in Varanasi

Thandai

Milk ground with almonds, melon seeds, fennel, pepper and rose, served cold. In Braj it is the drink of Holi, and the shops that make it properly grind the paste fresh every morning.

How it's eaten

Ask whether it is the plain version: at Holi the same shops sell a bhang-laced one, and it is not a soft drink.
