Method

01
Dissolve the custard powder in half of the milk and stir well until smooth.
02
Take the remaining milk and sugar in a large saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium high heat.
03
Lower the heat and whisk in the custard powder-milk mixture, stirring constantly. Simmer until it reaches a thin custard consistency or coats the back of a spoon. Take the pan off the heat and let it cool on an ice bath. 
04
Using a mortar and pestle, grind the saffron with a pinch of salt to a fine powder. Dissolve it in the rosewater and let it soak for at least 15 minutes. 
05
Stir in saffron-rose water, heavy cream and vanilla (if using) until well combined.
06
Chill the mixture in refrigerator for several hours/overnight.
07
Freeze the mixture in your ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
