How to Make Milk Saffron?

✅ Ingredients (for 2 servings):

• Milk – 2 cups (full cream preferred)

• Saffron strands – 8–10 strands

• Sugar – 2 tsp (adjust to taste)

• Cardamom powder – ¼ tsp (optional, for aroma)

• Chopped nuts – 1 tbsp (almonds, pistachios – optional)

✅ Instructions:

1. Warm the milk:
   Pour milk into a saucepan and heat on low flame. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.

2. Soak saffron:
   Take 2 tbsp warm milk in a small bowl, add saffron strands, and let it soak for 10–15 minutes (this releases the color and aroma).

3. Add saffron and sugar:
   Once the milk is hot (not boiling vigorously), add the saffron-infused milk and sugar. Stir well.

4. Add cardamom and nuts:
   Mix in cardamom powder and finely chopped nuts for extra flavor.

5. Simmer:
   Let it cook on low flame for 3–4 minutes so the saffron infuses completely.

6. Serve:
   Pour into cups and enjoy hot, or chill it in the fridge for a cool saffron milk drink.

💡 Tips:

• For thicker texture, simmer milk longer (10–15 minutes) before adding saffron.

• For extra richness, add a pinch of nutmeg or a few drops of rose water.

• Avoid adding saffron to very hot boiling milk immediately—it loses some aroma.
