Spiced Chia Pudding

Ingredients

• 2 cups (480 ml) milk of choice
• Pinch of saffron
• 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract or pinch of vanilla bean powder
• 6 Tbsp (60 g) chia seeds
• Pistachios for serving
• Berries for serving
• Sweetener of your choice for serving
• Step 1 Warm the milk in a medium pot over medium heat, careful not to let it boil.
• Step 2 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix a pinch of saffron into 1 Tbsp of the warm milk, using the back of a spoon to crush the saffron, so that the flavor releases into the milk.
• Step 3 Transfer the saffron milk mixture back into the pot of milk and whisk in the ground cardamom, cinnamon, and a pinch of vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder. Adjust these to taste.
• Step 4 Transfer the warm milk into glass jars or bowls. Divide the chia seeds among the jars/bowls, and mix well. Allow to set in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Step 5 Serve with pistachios and berries or whatever toppings you like and a dash of your favorite sweetener, if desired.
