Different alternatives change the flavour and texture, so choose one that suits your taste.<\/p>\n<p>Rose water can be strong; add it cautiously. Keep the honey modest at first and taste before adding more. Enjoy the drink for its warmth and aroma rather than expecting it to treat a sleep problem.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I make it vegan?<\/h3>\n<p>Use a suitable plant drink and replace honey with a plant-based sweetener.<\/p>\n<h3>Should I strain out the saffron?<\/h3>\n<p>You can leave the threads in or strain before serving, according to your texture preference.<\/p>\n<h3>Which allergens should I check?<\/h3>\n<p>Dairy milk contains milk allergens. Plant drinks may contain soy, nuts or other allergens; check the labels.<\/p>\n<h2>More saffron drinks<\/h2>\n<p>Try <a href=\"https:\/\/saffrona.eu\/en\/saffron-chai-latte\/\">saffron chai latte<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/saffrona.eu\/en\/kesar-doodh\/\">kesar doodh<\/a>.
