My parents always make this on special occasions, but it's also a nice refreshing dessert drink for anytime. If you can't find rosewater at your local Indian/Middle Eastern store you can omit, but it adds a lovely fragrance. I haven't tried this with Splenda yet but I will someday! Ingredients:
4 cups of cold 2% low-fat milk or 4 cups whole milk |
4 -5 saffron threads |
1/2 cup sugar |
pistachio nut (chopped, for garnish) |
rose water (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place a few tablespoons of milk in a small bowl and add the saffron threads. Gently stir with a wooden spoon and set aside. The saffron will infuse the milk and turn it into a golden color.
2. Pour the remaining milk in a pitcher and stir in sugar until dissolved. Add two drops of rosewater (too much rosewater makes the drink bitter). Lastly, add the saffron-infused milk into the pitcher and stir.
3. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with chopped pistachios before serving.
