Introduction
During my childhood, saffron milk was a must for exams. On other days, we would get Horlicks, Rooh Afza, or Cadbury chocolate milk, whichever we liked. It was only during exams, after a full day of studying, that my mother would feed us this milk.
What a beautiful memory that is still as vivid in my eyes as yesterday. I was very blessed to enjoy the love of my grandparents and great-grandparents till my 20s. I don’t remember doing anything like that for my children’s exams. The pressure of exams seems to be more on me than the children.
But, I will start this practice again. Gradually, we all found it easier to mix a ready-made energy drink powder. And children also love natural, healthy, nutritious saffron milk over flavored milk. Today i will show you How TO Make saffron milk let’s start
Benefits of saffron milk
Saffron is a powerful antioxidant.
Saffron milk is warming in nature but can also help in cooling down.
Saffron is also a memory enhancer When you mix saffron with calcium-rich milk and nutritious nuts, it makes a delicious and healthy drink for kids.
It can lift your mood and calm your mind. Drinking saffron milk at night can help you sleep well.
During pregnancy, when mood swings and fatigue can really get you down. This milk can help lift your mood. (Avoid saffron and other hot foods in the first trimester.)
Nevertheless, this milk is a treat. Packed with nutrients, the warm, fragrant, and crunchy nuts add to the joy.
During Ramadan, if you want to skip iftar, consider having this milk with dates. And once you finish your prayers, you can eat. This milk will keep you full and energized.

How to make it?
I crushed the extra nuts beforehand. And you can use cashews or any nuts you have on hand besides peanuts.
Step 1
Okay, these are powdered nuts but authentic harira needs crushed nuts as I mentioned in the recipe card. You get the taste of the nutty bits while drinking the harira.
Heat the butter and add the crushed nuts. Fry for a few seconds.
Step 2
Add milk, sugar and saffron.
Step 3
Add cardamom powder and bring to a boil. Then boil the milk on medium heat for 5 minutes.
The saffron milk is ready to serve.
