Saffron Tea
Yields: 1 Cup of Tea
If you are a tea lover and drink herbal tea, here is an
excellent recipe that brings an exotic aroma and seductive flavor to your tea
while lifting up your spirit and saving you money compared to those expensive
herbal teas.
- Buy a box of normal plain tea such as Lipton or other brands.
- Put one teabag in a tea cup.
- Throw 5 to 10 strands of saffron in the cup.
- Pour boiling water into the cup.
- Wait for about a minute
while stirring the tea occasionally, then take the tea bag out. Make sure saffron strands are not attached to it and wait for another minute while
stirring it occasionally.
- If you use sugar in your tea, add it now.
You are done.
- Smell your tea. You can unmistakably smell the great aroma of saffron tea
CAUTION: Do not
drink more than a cup a day. Always start with a small amount and test it. Keep
in mind that saffron is also a drug and like any other drug, overdosing has
serious health hazards. Consumption of few grams at once by a single individual may cause kidney
failure, paralysis of nervous system and death.
