👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, dry milk powder, and crushed cardamom pods. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just begins to simmer. Do not boil.

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually whisk this slurry into the simmering cream mixture. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the saffron water (including the threads), rose water, and vanilla extract. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cardamom pods and any lumps. Let it cool completely.
