As Holi 2026 approaches, traditional non-alcoholic drinks like thandai, kanji, and aam panna are popular for their refreshing and festive qualities. Thandai, often enjoyed with or without bhang, is a creamy beverage made from soaked dry fruits, milk, and spices. Bhang-infused thandai is a customary festive drink but is recommended in moderation. Homemade thandai without bhang is also favored, especially for children, to avoid preservatives found in market versions.
