Vegan Almond Cashew Burfi

I love Indian sweets. I often make burfis , so that I can relish it for a couple of days. I often visit
Manjula's kitchen

 Manjula's kitchen is an awesome food website. Manjula aunty has posted so many vegetarian recipes. If you like Indian food, you can find so many simple recipes in Manjula's kitchen.

On sunday, I made Almond Cashew burfi . It was really good. I used vegan sugar - sugar in the raw . If you have a sweet tooth like me, you will love this burfi.

Vegan Masala Tea, made with Trader Joe's Rice Milk

In my pre-vegan, I relished drinking masala tea, once in a while. Once I became a vegan, I completely forgot about it.

On sunday evening, it was raining, and I felt like drinking tea. Fortunately, organic unsweetened rice milk was in the fridge.  Within few minutes I made amazing masala tea with rice milk. The taste was so divine, it taste so much similar to tea made with dairy milk.  I have been relishing this amazing masala tea in the mornings, from past couple of days.
