In a glass add 2 tablespoons of boba.
Top it with cold thandai.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top.
Sprinkle some colored fennel seeds and dried rose petals on top. Enjoy this thandai boba drink!

Make the Thandai before hand and chill till ready to serve. The chilled thandai works wonderfully in the recipe. Plus, make the boba just before serving so they are soft and chewable.

The drink is best assembled by glasses rather than a big batch. Each person can have their own version with more or less bobs, with or without ice-cream etc.

This recipe is great for festivals like Holi and Diwali and also through the summer months. A welcome change from traditional thandai, this recipe is awesome in taste and flavor.

To make the drink perfectly balanced ensure that the sugar in thandai balances the sweetness of maple syrup of boba and vanilla ice-cream. Add only a limited amount of sugar to the thandai.
