Step 1: Grinding
Grind the saffron thoroughly into a powder using a small mortar.

Step 2: Thermal Shock
Place a small ice cube on the powder and let it melt. This method maximizes the release of pigments.

Step 3: Steeping
Once the ice has melted, add a small amount of boiling water and let it steep for 15 minutes.

Important Tips
Do not boil the saffron, as this causes it to lose its aroma.
Store in a sealed glass container away from light.
