Ayurvedic nightcap: saffron latte

Probably you are already familiar with golden milk and chai latte. Did you knew, you could also make a delicious latte with saffron? Perfect to relax, nourish your vitality and/or drink as a nightcap.

Ingredients

• 200 ml (vegetable) milk of choice
• 1 fresh medjool date
• 4 to 5 saffron threads
• 4 almonds *
• pinch of cardamom powder
• pinch of ceylon cinnamon powder

* I personally leave out the almonds when I use homemade almond milk, as homemade almond milk tastes much creamier and still contains all the nutrients of the almonds (in comparison to almond milk from a carton).

Preparation (optional to omit if using homemade almond milk)

• Soak the almonds for at least a few hours
• Drain and rinse the almonds with cold water 
• Remove the almond skins from the almonds (which is very easy to do after soaking the almonds)

Preparation

• Add all ingredients to the milk and let it stand for 10 minutes
• Mix it with a (hand) blender until you get a smooth drink
• Heat your saffron drink

Pour your drink into a beautiful cup and enjoy it with awareness.
