Why Thandai is the Perfect Summer Drink
Summer in India can be intense. And while soft drinks may offer a quick fix, they rarely give your body what it really needs — something cooling, nourishing, and truly refreshing.
This is where thandai comes in. For generations, it’s been the go-to summer drink in many Indian homes. At Hitkary, we’ve taken this timeless tradition and added our own special touch with two options:
Sandali Kesaria Thandai – a royal, ready-to-use cooler
Thandai Powder – a versatile mix you can prepare your way
Let’s get to know both.
Sandali Kesaria Thandai: A Royal Treat in Every Sip
This thandai isn't just a drink — it's an experience. Made using sandalwood and saffron, along with a blend of nuts and natural spices, it’s crafted to leave you feeling calm and refreshed, even on the hottest day.
What makes it different?
-
Sandalwood (chandan) gives it a naturally cooling effect
-
Kesar (saffron) adds a touch of richness
-
A light, smooth taste that doesn’t feel too heavy or sweet
How to enjoy it:
Pour it into a glass of cold milk, add some ice cubes, and sip away. That’s it!
“I tried it during Holi, and now it’s a regular in my fridge. It’s light, tasty, and feels like summer comfort in a glass.”
Thandai Powder: Mix Your Own, Your Way
If you like your drinks just the way you want them, the Thandai Powder is for you. It’s a dry mix made from natural ingredients like almonds, fennel seeds, rose petals, cardamom, saffron, and melon seeds.
No artificial flavours, no preservatives — just pure ingredients you’d find in a traditional kitchen.
Why people love it:
- You can adjust sweetness and thickness
- Great with cold milk, desserts, or even smoothies
- Super quick to prepare — takes less than 2 minutes
Simple steps:
- Add 1–2 teaspoons of powder into cold milk
- Mix well
- Add sugar if needed, and serve chilled
“I keep a jar of this at home. It’s so easy when guests drop by or when I just want something cooling in the evening.”
