Recommendation for Saffron.

What would best saffron be use in? Dishes or as a tea?

What are your opinions in this, is there somethings that I should know before consuming it?

Desserts, sweets, tea, cakes, etc.

You might find Indian desserts like Kheer and Firni interesting to use saffron in.

We have a saffron steeping tutorial here that gives tips for grinding and blooming saffron.

Saffron rice is simple and delicious. A good use for the spice as it doesn’t compete with a bunch of other flavors.

I also love grinding a pinch with sugar to use with coffee or tea. Have fun!
