Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk or dairy-free alternative
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp loose black tea leaves or 2 tea bags
- 1/4 tsp saffron threads lightly crushed
- 2 tbsp sugar or to taste
- 2 cardamom pods cardamom crushed

Notes
For best results, use high-quality saffron threads. The tea can be made ahead and reheated gently - add the saffron just before serving for maximum color impact. For a vegan version, use coconut or almond milk. Store any leftover tea in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat before serving.
