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.

This is the worst drink I've ever had. It's watery and tasteless.

This drink is not worth the effort. It's too sweet and the flavor is artificial.

I found this drink to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices, such as cardamom and cinnamon.

This drink is a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar.
