Directions
1. Pour milk (setting 3 tablespoons aside) in a saucepan with sugar, saffron and cardamom and boil for 5 to 7 minutes.
2. While milk is boiling, crush the saffron with a spoon to enhance its colour.
3. Mix farina in 3 tablespoons of cold milk and then add the mixture to the boiling milk, stirring well so it does not form lumps.
4. Continue mixing and cook for 2 minutes. The consistency should be thick but runny.
5. Serve hot in a bowl and garnish with almonds and pistachios.
