Cardamom-Kulfi Ice Pops

1. 1

   Bring the milk to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pan, stirring frequently.

2. 2

   Stir in the saffron and turn the heat down to a simmer.

3. 3

   Stirring frequently, simmer the milk until it reduces from 1 quart to 1 cup. It will take quite a while, but it's worth it.

4. 4

   Remove the reduced milk from the heat and add in the crushed cardamom seeds, the vanilla, and the sugar.

5. 5

   **Note: the 1/4 cup of sugar will sweeten the kulfi lightly; increase the sugar for a sweeter dessert.

6. 6

   Pour the kulfi into a frozen ice pop mold, ramekins, or dixie cups and freeze until set, at least 6 hours.
