- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 5 pieces Almonds (optional, sliced or chopped)
- 5 pieces Pistachios (optional, sliced or chopped)
Instructions
1. Pour the whole milk into a medium-sized saucepan and place it over medium heat.
2. Lightly crush the green cardamom pods with the back of a spoon to release their aroma and flavors. Add the crushed cardamom pods to the saucepan.
3. Add the saffron strands to the milk and stir gently. Let the milk heat up slowly, allowing the saffron to release its color and aroma. Do not let the milk boil over.

7. Turn off the heat and let the milk sit for a minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Strain the milk into mugs to remove the cardamom pods, or leave them in for a stronger flavor if preferred.
