Saffron Tea

by Sean Paajanen

Beware, saffron is mighty expensive. But it does make this tea recipe stand out. If you don't have saffron, try a dash of tumeric instead.

Ingredients:

  • 8 tsp black tea, loose
  • 8 cups water
  • 12 green cardamom pods
  • 8 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp saffron threads

Preparation:

Heat water with cardamom, sugar and saffron. Simmer until reduced by half. Add tea and steep for about 10 minutes. Strain out tea and spices, and serve hot.
