1. Large pinch of saffron threads
2. 3 tablespoons water
3. 2 tablespoons sugar
4. 1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt

1. In a small bowl, crumble the saffron into 1 tablespoon of the water and let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of water with the sugar and microwave for about 1 minute, until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer the bowl to the freezer until the syrup is cold.
3. In a bowl, whisk the yogurt with the saffron water and sugar syrup. Refrigerate, whisking a few times, until cold and brightly colored, about 1 hour. Pour into medium glasses and serve.
