In my childhood, during exams saffron milk was a must. On other days, we would get Horlick, Rooh Afza, or Cadbury Chocolate milk, whatever we liked. It was only during exams, after a whole day's study, mom would give us this milk.

What a beautiful memory it was, that is still as vivid in the eyes as yesterday. I was so blessed to enjoy the love of my grand and great-grandparents till my 20's. I just can't remember to do any such things in the exam of my kids. The pressure of exams seems to be more on me than on kids.

But, I'll start this practice again. Gradually, we have all found mixing a ready-made energy drink powder convenient. And kids also love flavored milk over natural, healthier, nutrient-packed saffron milk.

My kids like smooth milk, so I powder my nuts instead of crushing and also strain them. This has made this milk more acceptable to them.
