Ratings & Reviews:
A delicate hot drink. My DH and DD said it smells indian! The reason is that in India we had a lassi that with the same spices (I published my lassi recipe some month ago). In any case I was surprised from the rusult. No yogurt, no tea, no milk and so delicious! Thanks we enjoyed it very much!

A nice smooth tea, but still a little weak after 15 minutes of covered simmering, maybe my cardamom pods are old I added an extra bruised one. I did add additional white sugar as this is nice, sweet. I may try this again simmering for longer.

Fabulous! The cardamom, rose and saffron meld together nicely.
I bit expensive for most. Glad I grow my own saffron. Thanks.
