(I made a big batch as this was for a party- Approximately 30 servings. You please adjust the ingredients according to your need.) Preparation time: 10 minutes

DIRECTIONS:
We have to start first by chopping the agar agar strands in small pieces and soak them in warm water for 10 mins. Chop the agar agar in real small or tiny pieces with the help of kitchen scissors.
Mix cream, milk and sugar in a pan or sauce pan and keep it on low flame. Keep on stirring at intervals while the cream mixture comes to a gentle boil and sugar gets completely dissolved.
At the same time, keep the agar agar and water solution on low flame in another pan. Keep on stirring the agar agar solution and let it cook till the agar agar strands are completely dissolved.
(Multitasking at its best😉)
Take two tablespoon of lukewarm water in a small bowl and dissolve saffron strands in it.
When the cream+milk+sugar mixture come to a gentle boil. Switch off the flame.
Mix hot agar agar solution into the hot cream+milk+sugar mixture and stir very well with a wired whisk.
Cook this mixture on low flame for about 5 minutes.

Add dissolved saffron to it. After this switch off the flame.

Now, pour this prepared Panna Cotta either in individual glasses/bowls or in a big bowl.
