Ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
Vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
Honey
1 tablespoon (adjust to taste)
Saffron threads

1 cup

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until hot but not boiling.
  2. Add the saffron threads to the hot milk and let steep for 2-3 minutes, allowing the milk to absorb the vibrant color and flavor.

  6. Slowly pour the frothy saffron milk over the espresso or coffee, creating a beautiful layered effect.
  7. Sprinkle a little extra ground cinnamon on top for garnish, if desired.
