1

Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

2

Roughly chop the pistachios.

3

To make the toffee shards, place the sugar, 4 tbsp of water and a pinch of saffron in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar starts caramelising. Cook until the caramel turns a rich golden brown. Working quickly, spoon rounds of toffee onto the baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with the pistachios. Allow to set completely.

4

To make the coffee, bring the remaining 1L of water to a boil in a pot. Add the coffee and simmer for 5 minutes.

5

Add the ground cardamom and a pinch of saffron to a coffee pot and pour the coffee grounds in. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes for the grounds to settle.

6

Place the camel milk in a small saucepan and heat until just below boiling point (don’t boil it). Decant into a large jar with a lid. Close the lid tightly and shake the jar well until the milk becomes foamy.

7

Pour the coffee into glasses, top with the camel milk foam and serve with the toffee shards.
