SAFFRON LATTE RECIPE

+ 2 cups of milk (I prefer raw whole milk)

+ 3-4 strands of high quality saffron threads (ground down and bloomed like I did in the mortar and pestle)

+ 1/8 tsp organic cardamom +1/4 tsp organic ground ginger

+ 1/2 tsp organic powdered turmeric

+ 1/4 tsp cinnamon + pinch of black pepper

+ 1 Tols organic pure maple syrup

In a small pot on medium heat, place milk, bloomed saffron, cardamom, ginger, turmeric and maple syrup. If you have a handheld frother, you can mix

Everything together so there's no lumps. 

If not, add the other spices to the mortar and pestle and then add to the pot. Heat until nice and warm. Do not simmer or boil it (especially if using raw milk). Pour into a mug or large glass if you'd like to add ice and for a cold iced latte. Enjoy!!

I hope this reaches who it needs to, especially if you’ve been wanting to go the more natural/holistic route to help your ADHD, depression and anxiety.

Saffron isn’t just a luxurious spice—it’s a powerhouse of wellness used for centuries in traditional medicine. Modern research is now confirming what ancient cultures long believed.

1. Mood Booster & Anti-Depressant

Saffron, known as the “sunshine spice,” may help relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety. Studies show it can be as effective as common antidepressants, with fewer side effects.

2. Rich in Antioxidants

Key compounds like crocin, crocetin, safranal, and kaempferol help protect your cells from oxidative stress and premature aging.

3. Supports Brain Function

Saffron may enhance memory and cognitive performance. Some research shows it may help slow progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Its natural compounds help reduce inflammation in the body, potentially aiding in joint pain and autoimmune issues.

5. Promotes Heart Health

Saffron may help lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and support overall cardiovascular wellness.

6. Weight Management & Appetite Control

Studies suggest saffron can help reduce appetite and snacking, supporting weight-loss efforts naturally.

7. Eases PMS Symptoms

Saffron has been shown to significantly reduce premenstrual symptoms like mood swings, cramps, and bloating.

8. Improves Sexual Health

Traditionally used as an aphrodisiac, saffron may improve libido and performance in both men and women.

9. Protects Eye Health

Crocin in saffron may improve vision and slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

10. May Support Blood Sugar Balance

Early studies indicate saffron may aid in lowering blood sugar and improving insulin sensitivity.

⚠️ Use with Care
