Saffron Latte Recipe
Adoped from Amanda Hansen, Instagram @SourdoughSparrow Yes, saffron is the worlds most EXPENSIVE spice, so buying this in bulk isn't cheap, but it's because it's benefits are beyond amazing. If you can think of it as a proactive investment in your mental health and truly buy the good stuff sourced from @herayspice who source their saffron from Afghanistan farmers, it's worth every penny. I only started feeling actual results when I bought saffron from them, instead of the loz bottles I got at costo that are sourced from Spain. There are other ways to get it...like in supplements, pre-made latte mixes, etc. but I wanted to know exactly what was going into my lattes, which is why I make them myself.
