this street milk is too healthy and too tasty drink during winter . this is too good for people who seeking to put on some weight . you can serve it child during summer . put it in freezer for 3 hours and serve chilled during summer . taste will be like ice-cream or falooda.
in any case if you don't have saffron then you can skip it but saffron contain some heating agent that provide necessary heat .so for that reason instead of saffron use 1/6 tsp of nutmeg powder .
