we grew up drinking this saffron milk as a warm treat in the evenings. My husband grew up drinking it in the mornings before his morning chai. My cousin likes dunking her jalebis in it as a dessert. No matter what time of day you drink this, though, the consensus is it’s sweet, fragrant, nourishing and very calming. Super easy too! Be sure and share your cuppas with me!
