Paan Thandai is a refreshing betel leaf-flavoured Indian drink. It has the bright green colour of betel (paan) leaves and all the deliciousness of a thandai. Be sure to watch the video!

The two dishes which are the quintessential part of the Holi festival celebration are – Thandai and Ghujia.

Thandai is a traditional Indian drink. It is widely popular for its medicinal and cooling health benefits.

Here are some Health Benefits of Thandai by the industry experts:

  • It is an excellent energy booster, especially during the summer season.
  • Thandai aids in digestion and helps in cooling down the body.
  • It is also a sort of anti-depressant and helps in improving the mood 
  • It is a fantastic immunity booster and keeps you safe from heat strokes.

The Paan Thandai

If you are bored of the classic thandai flavour, try this refreshing paan thandai. It has the creaminess of thandai combined with the taste of betel leaves.

I use my instant thandai powder to make this thandai recipe. You also need betel leaves (paan), gulkand, sugar, milk, and ice cubes to make this thandai.

All you need to do is mix it all in a blender. And serve thandai chilled.

Serving Suggestion

Serve paan thandai chilled or at room temperature. I like to add a few cubes to it while serving.

Please note that thandai is a milk-based drink. Hence, do not leave it at room temperature for more than 2 – 3 hours, especially in a hot and humid climate. It is always best to store it in the refrigerator.

You can make the instant thandai powder in advance and store it for 6 months in the refrigerator.

Recipe Notes:

  • Do not blend the paan thandai for too long otherwise, the green color turns into brown because of the heat. 
  • It is best to enjoy paan thandai within 2 – 3 hours of making. 
  • Gulkand is a sweet preserve of rose petals. It is used to make meetha paan. You can easily get gulkand paste in the Indian grocery stores, supermarkets, or online stores like Amazon, Big Basket, etc.
