Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix together 4 cups milk and the rice flour; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. In a mortar pestle, grind the saffron threads and 1 teaspoon sugar; bloom with 2 tablespoons water.
  3. In a large saucepot, bring the remaining milk to a simmer; add the rice flour mixture and continue to cook on low heat, stirring continuously. Add the remaining sugar and continue stirring. Cook for about 15 to 25 minutes. Add the rose water extract and the bloomed saffron; simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot in a bowl or tea cup garnished with pistachios and garnish with a rose petal, if desired.

Ingredient availability varies by location*

Chef Tip:

This drink can be served hot, cold, or at room temperature. Traditionally, this drink does not contain saffron, but in the spirit of the holidays, adding saffron gives it the name Fereni Sultani, which means the King's Fereni or Royal Fereni.
