Imagine Royalty, and I mean the Centuries-old Kings and Queen’s banquets and feasts. Pistachio Saffron Ice cream comes right out of the old banquets hostings the whos who of the elites. I make a rendition of this in our home kitchen with a quick simple recipe, using the purest ingredients. I get my saffron from Spain but you can get the same from an Indian or Mediterranean store. Cooked with a mix of full cream, whole milk, pure sugar, and honey infused with saffron and pistachio. this is a lovely dessert for the summertime enjoyed when you are feeling royale.
