To make Panchamrit at home, you need 500 ml of milk, 1 cup curd, 1 tsp honey, 2 tsp rose water, 4 tulsi leaves, and a handful of makhanas (optional).
In a clean bowl, add milk, curd, honey, and rose water. Make sure all the ingredients are fresh and pure and gently blend them smoothly.

On a skillet, take a handful of makhanas and roast them. Keep the gas flame between medium to low to make sure they don't burn. Keep stirring.

Tear 4 fresh holy basil leaves and add them to the mixture. The leaves add a beautiful aroma and taste while enhancing the sacredness of the Panchamrit.
