Ingredients
  

Hot Chocolate

  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cardamom pods
  • pinch of saffron
  • 5 oz heavy cream
  • ¼ cup white chocolate

Topping

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a medium sized saucepan over low heat, add the whole milk and saffron threads. Crush the cardamon pods slightly so the seeds are exposed, then add to the pot. Mix to combine. Allow to simmer for 8 minutes before removing from heat. The mixture should be reduced and yellow in color.
  • Pick out the cardamom pods and immediately mix in the heavy cream and white chocolate until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and sugar with a hand frother until smooth.
  • Pour the hot chocolate into a mug of your choice, top off with the cream and a few strands of saffron! Enjoy!
