Golden Saffron Milk

Wellness · 10 min · Serves 2 · Easy · Saffron: 4 threads

A warm, calming evening ritual: saffron, milk, and a whisper of spice.

Ingredients

For 2 servings:

• 500ml milk (or oat/almond milk)
• Zaffira Super Negin saffron, 4 threads
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 small cinnamon stick (or 1/4 tsp ground)
• 1-2 tsp honey
• A pinch of black pepper

Method

1. Steep the saffron — Warm 2 tbsp of the milk and steep the saffron in it for 10 minutes.
2. Warm the milk — Gently heat the rest of the milk with the turmeric, cinnamon and pepper. Do not let it boil.
3. Combine — Stir in the saffron milk.
4. Sweeten — Add honey to taste and whisk to a light froth.
5. Serve — Pour into cups and dust with a little cinnamon.

Chef's notes

The pinch of pepper helps your body absorb the turmeric. Keep it just below a simmer so the saffron stays fragrant.

Pairing

A quiet evening - it is a nightcap on its own.
