Saffron Tea Benefits:
Since ancient times, Saffron has been used for good health. In fact, in ancient India, Saffron was also used in medicines because of its properties. Tea is the best way to consume saffron into our system because the active compounds in the saffron threads are water soluble, and thus can be absorbed straight into our bloodstreams through our digestive system.
While saffron is equally delicious when it is put in food, using it in tea is perhaps the easiest and the best way to reap in all the health benefits of saffron tea.
