For a richer flavor, substitute the water and powdered milk with 3 1/2 cups of whole milk. Garnish with chopped pistachios, a sprinkle of dried rose petals, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of elegance. Experiment with different floral waters, such as orange blossom water, for a unique twist. For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and agar-agar powder instead of cornstarch.
