Eid Drink (A Sweet Drink With Milk and Saffron) image

My parents always make this on special occasions, but it's also a nice refreshing dessert drink for anytime. If you can't find rosewater at your local Indian/Middle Eastern store you can omit, but it adds a lovely fragrance. I haven't tried this with Splenda yet but I will someday!

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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)

Steps:

  • 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.
