Ingredients

• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 Cardamom pods
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Rose water
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cups Crushed ice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pour the whole milk into a medium-sized saucepan and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 2

Using a mortar and pestle, lightly crush the cardamom pods to release their fragrance. Add the crushed cardamom pods to the milk.

Step 3

Heat the milk until it begins to simmer gently, then reduce the heat to low. Let the milk simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse it with the cardamom flavor.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a smooth slurry. Ensure there are no lumps.

Step 5

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering milk, whisking constantly to avoid clumping. Continue to cook and stir for 3-4 minutes until the milk mixture thickens slightly.

Step 6

Add the granulated sugar to the thickened milk and stir until fully dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and rose water. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cardamom pods.

Step 8

Once strained, transfer the sherbet mixture to a pitcher or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 9

To serve, pour the chilled milk sherbet into glasses. Optionally, garnish with chopped pistachios and crushed ice for a refreshing crunch.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your fragrant masterpiece!
