How to Make Milk With Saffron

  1. Gently crush the saffron threads with a mortar and pestle to release their vibrant color and flavor.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, crushed saffron, sugar, and cardamom. Stir well to ensure the saffron is evenly distributed.
  3. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Do not boil vigorously.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the saffron to infuse the milk and the flavors to meld.
  5. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for another 5 minutes to further enhance the saffron's flavor.
  6. Strain the milk through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the saffron threads and cardamom pods (optional).
  7. Serve warm or chilled over ice. Garnish with a pinch of extra saffron threads or a sprinkle of cardamom powder, if desired.
