Make the custard base
Heat the whole milk with the sugar and saffron infusion. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl; gradually whisk in some of the hot milk. Return the mixture to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Do not let it boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the rosewater.
Ready to continue when: The base lightly coats the back of a spoon and is smooth, with no lumps of egg.

Cool the base
