Directions
Bastani (Persian Rose Water, Saffron and Pistachio Ice Cream),This was the first time I ever made custard-based ice cream, and it was delicious! The rose water and saffron go great together, without overpowering each other. I doubled the original recipe, since most ice cream machines need at least 4 cups of liquid (also because my family gobbled it up in no time!).,Way too sweet, would half the sugar. Also 3 tbsp of rosewater is too much. 2 would have been better as it overpowers the saffron.,My 14 year old tried this for the first time for her cousins 18th Birthday and it was a hit! All you need to do are follow the instructions and have lots of patience. Her cousins said it tasted like the one at Saffron and Rose Ice Cream.
