TIPS:

- If you need to serve the yogurt immediately, fill a big bowl with ice and put the milk pot in it stirring continuously to cool it down. Then pour the milk in the yogurt and whisk until it gets smooth.
- Taste the mixture before serving, if you feel cardamom is taking over the taste then you can add some more saffron to make a perfect balance.
