Ingredients

• 1 cup Coarse sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Saffron threads

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, measure out 1 cup of coarse sea salt and set aside.

Step 2

Using a mortar and pestle, gently crush 1 teaspoon of saffron threads into a fine powder. This helps release the saffron's natural oils and intensifies its aroma.

Step 3

Gradually add the crushed saffron to the sea salt in batches, mixing thoroughly with each addition to distribute the saffron evenly.

Step 4

Continue mixing the salt and saffron until the salt takes on a vibrant golden-yellow color and the threads are evenly dispersed throughout.

Step 5

Transfer the saffron salt to an airtight container or glass jar for storage.

Step 6

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the flavor and color of the saffron salt.

Step 7

Use the saffron salt as a finishing salt to sprinkle over dishes for an aromatic and flavorful touch.
