Beverage
Saffron Matcha is a luxurious and refreshing drink that combines the earthy, slightly bitter flavour of matcha with the delicate floral aroma of saffron. Smooth almond milk infused with saffron creates a creamy golden layer, while freshly whisked matcha provides a vibrant green base. Sweetened with agave syrup and served over ice, this drink offers a balanced blend of earthy, creamy, floral, and subtly sweet flavours. Beautiful when layered or gently stirred, Saffron Matcha is perfect for festive occasions, relaxing afternoons, or anyone looking for an elegant and refreshing beverage with a unique twist.
Ingredients
1 pinch Saffron Threads
1 tsp sugar
½ cup Almond Milk
