Make the most of your saffron with a two-step process (maximum flavor and color): 1. Grind the saffron: Use either a pestle and mortar or a spice grinder. Grind until all of the strands become a fine powder. 2. Bloom the ground saffron in water: Stir 1/8 teaspoon of the ground saffron with 3 tablespoons of water. Allow to bloom for 10 minutes. | The Mediterranean Dish

What’s saffron used for? Pretty much everything that feels luxurious. It turns plain rice golden, turns milk into magic, and turns your kitchen into a five-star restaurant. People use it in teas, soups, cakes, breads, even skincare. It’s the world’s most expensive spice — because it changes everything it touches. 💛 A single pinch adds color, flavor, and history older than the Bible itself. | Shesrootedhomesaffron
