Saffron milk shake
Saffron Milkshake Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup milk (whole milk or any milk of your choice)
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
2 tablespoons warm water
1 tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Optional garnish: Crushed pistachios or almonds
Instructions:
Prepare the Saffron:
In a small bowl, combine the saffron threads with warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the saffron to infuse and release its flavor and color.
Blend the Milkshake:
In a blender, combine the milk, vanilla ice cream, infused saffron water (including saffron threads), honey, and ground cardamom (if using).
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if needed.
Serve:
Pour the saffron milkshake into glasses.
Garnish with crushed pistachios or almonds for added texture and flavor, if desired.
Enjoy:
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich and aromatic flavors of saffron in this refreshing milkshake.
Tips:
For a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream.
Adjust the amount of saffron according to your preference for color and flavor intensity.
You can chill the saffron-infused milk in the refrigerator before blending for a colder milkshake.
Feel free to experiment with other spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for additional flavor variations.
This saffron milkshake is a luxurious and indulgent treat that combines the exotic flavors of saffron with the creaminess of milk and ice cream. Perfect for enjoying on a hot day or as a special dessert drink!
