Ingredients
- A pinch of premium Saffron
- 1 cup of milk (see note below)
- Honey to taste
- Ground cardamom
- Fresh vanilla beans
- Cinnamon
Steps
- Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Be cautious not to bring it to a boil; you want it hot but not scalded.
-
Add Saffron: While the milk is heating, add 1-2 strands of saffron to the milk. If you'd like a stronger saffron flavor, you can crush the strands slightly before adding.
-
Steep the Saffron: Allow the saffron to steep in the hot milk for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the saffron to infuse its flavor and color into the milk.
-
Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the milk to remove saffron threads before serving.
-
Sweeten (Optional): If desired, add sweetener to taste. This can include honey, sugar, agave syrup, or any sweetener of your choice.
-
Froth the Milk (Optional): For a latte-like texture, you can froth the saffron-infused milk using a frother or whisk. This step is optional but adds a nice touch.
-
Pour and Garnish: Pour the saffron latte into your favorite mug. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, ground cardamom, or vanilla beans for extra flavor and visual appeal.
-
Enjoy: Sip and savor your delightful saffron latte
Feel free to adjust the saffron quantity, sweetener, or other elements to suit your taste preferences.
