Saffron Tea

Health Benefits

Saffron tea preserves the nutrient in this spice, offering a host of benefits. In a clinical trial conducted by the Society for Biomedical Diabetes Research, diabetic subjects who consumed tea made with 3 grams of saffron experienced significant reductions in cholesterol levels. Ginger, cardamom and cinnamon tea have produced similar results.

Manganese, one of the minerals in saffron tea, supports enzyme production and energy metabolism. It also keeps your bones strong and promotes wound healing. Even the slightest deficiency may put you at risk for metabolic disorders, impaired glucose tolerance and reproductive problems.

This beverage is also high in vitamin C, a nutrient that improves immune function and stimulates collagen production. Furthermore, it acts as an antioxidant, reducing free radical damage. Your body needs vitamin C to build and repair tissues, fight germs and absorb iron.

Serving suggestion:
