Authentic Persian Saffron Tea

I have an Iranian friend and am able to get
fresh saffron all the time,
Beware, saffron is mighty expensive.
But it does make this tea recipe stand out.
If you don’t have saffron,
try a dash of tumeric instead.

Ingredients:
8 tsp black tea, loose
8 cups water
12 green cardamom pods
8 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp saffron threads

Directions:
Heat water with cardamom, sugar and saffron. Simmer until reduced by half. Add tea and steep for about 10 minutes. Strain out tea and spices, and serve
