Healthy Milk Recipes: Soy Milk Chai, Shakes & Kheer

Healthy Milk is the name of the plain soy milk from Nath Mills, our chakki flour mill in Tanda, Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. It is a plant based, dairy-free milk made from soy, with a mild taste and creamy texture. It is coming soon, and in this post we share simple Indian recipes you can make with Healthy Milk or any plain soy milk: masala chai, cold coffee, banana date shake, kheer, daliya, a sattu shake and rose falooda.

What is Nath Mills Healthy Milk?

Healthy Milk is plain soy milk. Its listed ingredient is soy (soybean). It is made for everyday use in tea, coffee, smoothies, cereal and cooking, wherever you would normally pour milk.

Its sister product, Rose Milk, is soy milk with a rose flavour, best served chilled. If you are new to soy milk, start with our Soy Milk Guide, which explains what plant based milk is and how it is made.

Before you start: 4 tips for cooking with Healthy Milk

• Shake the pack well before pouring.
• Heat it gently on low to medium flame and keep stirring.
• In hot tea or coffee, add it near the end instead of boiling it hard.
• Plain soy milk has a mild taste, so sweeten it with sugar, jaggery or dates as you like.

Healthy Milk recipes for every day

1. Masala chai with Healthy Milk

1. Boil 1 cup water with 1 to 2 teaspoons of tea leaves, sugar to taste, a crushed piece of ginger and 2 crushed elaichi.
2. Let it boil for 2 minutes so the tea gets strong.
3. Lower the flame and add 1 cup Healthy Milk.
4. Simmer gently for about 1 minute, stirring once or twice. Do not let it boil hard.
5. Strain and serve hot.

Tip: if you like strong chai, make the tea decoction a little stronger rather than boiling the milk longer.

2. Cold coffee

1. Mix 2 teaspoons of instant coffee and sugar with 2 tablespoons of warm water until frothy.
2. Add 1 glass of chilled Healthy Milk and a few ice cubes.
3. Blend for 30 seconds and serve with a sprinkle of coffee powder on top.

3. Banana and date shake

1. Soak 3 to 4 seedless dates in a little warm water for 10 minutes.
2. Add 1 ripe banana, the dates and 1 glass of chilled Healthy Milk to a blender.
3. Blend until smooth and serve right away.

You can swap the banana for mango in summer or chikoo in winter.

4. Kheer with Healthy Milk

1. Wash 3 tablespoons of rice and soak it for 20 minutes.
2. Warm 1 litre of Healthy Milk on a low flame in a heavy pan.
3. Add the rice and cook slowly, stirring often so it does not stick, until the rice is soft and the kheer thickens.
4. Add sugar to taste, elaichi powder and chopped dry fruits. Cook 2 more minutes.
5. Serve warm or chilled.

Because soy milk does not like high heat, keep the flame low and be patient. The same method works for sevaiyan.

5. Daliya breakfast bowl

Cook daliya in water until soft. Turn off the flame, stir in warm Healthy Milk, a little jaggery and chopped fruit. This keeps the milk smooth and gives a creamy bowl in a few minutes.

6. Sattu shake

Many families in UP and Bihar drink sattu in summer. For a shake-style drink, whisk 2 to 3 tablespoons of Diet Sattu into a glass of chilled Healthy Milk with a little sugar or jaggery and a pinch of elaichi. Read more ideas in our Sattu Powder Guide.

7. Rose falooda with Rose Milk

1. Soak 1 teaspoon of sabja (basil) seeds in water for 15 minutes.
2. Cook falooda sev as per the pack and cool it in cold water.
3. In a tall glass, add the sev, soaked seeds and chopped fruit.
4. Pour chilled Rose Milk over it and top with a scoop of ice cream or chopped nuts if you like.

If you only have plain Healthy Milk, add a little rose syrup to make your own rose milk.
