  • 250 ml. Full Milk
  • 300 ml. whipped cream
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1 tsp of saffron
  • 200 grams of fine granulated sugar or white caster sugar

  3. Now add the saffron and let the mixture steep for at least half an hour.
  4. Add the sugar to the egg yolks and beat this mixture until creamy.
  5. Once the milk has cooled with saffron, you can add it in small splashes. Continue to beat well so that the mixture becomes creamy and foamy.
