Ingredients:

-2 cups whipping cream
-4 tablespoon powdered sugar
-1 tablespoon saffron
-1 tablespoon hot milk
- ½ tablespoon cardamom powder

Tools:

-measuring cup / spoons
-metal mixing bowl
-hand mixer
-pan
-mortar and pestle

First, toss a metal mixing bowl into the freezer, and chill your serving cups in the refrigerator.

Next, heat up a small pan for a minute or two, then when the pan is hot, turn the stove off. Heat the saffron in the pan for 30 - 45 seconds.

Quickly remove the saffron from the pan and grind in a mortar and pestle. Place in a small cup. Microwave the milk for 10 seconds, and add it to the saffron. Set the cup aside.

Mix the cream in a chilled bowl with a hand mixer until it gets nice and thick... this may take a while. The cream should stick to the beater.  Add the rest of the ingredients, and beat for another minute.

Serve it up in the chilled cups, and garnish with Star Anise. (Ground or whole)

Enjoy!
