Eid Drink (A Sweet Drink With Milk And Saffron) - cooking recipe

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)

Preparation

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.
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.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with chopped pistachios before serving.
