• If you preparing this for kids make sure you sieve it fine. If this is for adults grind it little course so that they could feel the nutty flavor in the milk.
• You could store this powder for about 1 month. Refrigerate it if you living in a humid weather.
• For quick hot drink, You could add a Tbsp of this mix to hot milk and serve it immediately without boiling it. It tastes a bit different than the boiled version.
• Do not add the powder mix to room temperature milk or cold milk. It will form lumps and will not dissolve easily.
• The color of the milk depends upon the amount of saffron used.
• Make sure you use clean dry spoon every time. It keeps the powder mix fresh and long lasting.
• You can adjust the quantity of powder for each serving. Usually 1.5 Tbsp of mix is good for a cup of milk.
