Love this aromatic tea. I did`nt simmer just let it infuse in hot water for 5 minutes. Thanks -
As soon as I took a sip I taught :soothing! I had the first cup hot with honey and the second one cold without any sweetener and I liked both. I couldn't taste much the saffron but that's OK coz the cardamon is what makes this recipe.thanks for sharing
