*HONEY SAFFRON SYRUP
Start with a 1:1 honey simple syrup by combining equal parts honey and water and stir until the honey has fully dissolved. Then add a small pinch of saffron threads (about 5-10 threads per 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup water) Let the saffron steep in the honey syrup for at least a few hours, then strain out the saffron and store the syrup in a covered container in the refrigerator.
