Then take 2 glasses of milk in a pan and then add 2 tbsp
Sugar to it. I wanted to make only 2 glasses so I added two and so would be
adding only half of the paste. If you are making 4 glasses then use 4 glasses
of milk and add the whole paste further.

Bring it to boil, by then the sugar would also get
dissolved.

Let it simmer for 2 minutes on low heat so that all the
flavors would be absorbed in the milk.
