Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk or dairy-free alternative
- 4 pods green cardamom lightly crushed
- 8-10 strands saffron plus extra for garnish
- 2 tbsp honey or to taste
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 1 pinch sea salt fine
Notes
For a frothy texture, blend the strained milk for 30 seconds before serving. Can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently without boiling. For a stronger cardamom flavor, lightly toast the pods in the saucepan before adding milk. Substitute maple syrup or coconut sugar for honey if desired.
