Despite how easy it is to prepare the Persian-style saffron chicken, the saffron milk tea is the most used saffron dish. It is also the most natural saffron dish to prepare. You can prepare the saffron tea by steeping saffron threads in hot water. Let the threads steep for about 8minutes, remove them and enjoy your tea. Honey can be added to the tea for a better taste.
