Method:

If you are using store bought ragi flour, then dry roast for 2-3 minutes before proceeding to next step
Take the ragi flour in a mixer jar. Add cardamom, cashews, almonds, saffron threads and grind everything to a smooth powder. Take the Ragi Malt powder in an air-tight container to retain its freshness
Heat a sauce pan, add 2 cups of milk. Stir in 2 teaspoon of ragi malt powder. Keep the flame in medium and allow the milk to boil for 3-4 minutes so that the ragi malt gets nicely boiled with the milk and the essence gets incorporated with the milk
Switch off the flame. Strain the ragi malt in a serving cup
Enrich with nuts and saffron threads and serve homemade Ragi Malt hot and enjoy the drink!
