How to Prepare Saffron

Gently crush a small pinch shortly before use. Infuse it in a little warm, non-boiling water or a liquid suited to your recipe for about 10–20 minutes. Add the liquid and threads to your dish for an even distribution of colour and flavour. Adjust the amount to the recipe and number of servings.
