The present study was anticipated to develop ready to mix and make herbal milk shake bags by using natural herbs such as tulsi, turmeric and brown sugar with milk powder. The herbal shake was developed by adding different level of milk powder (T1) 10 %, (T2) 20 %, (T3) 30 %, while control sample was prepared without addition of milk powder (T0).
