Instructions
To make saffron oil, add 2 tablespoons of saffron spice to 1/2 cup of almond oil.
Stir the spice into the oil and allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to a boil.
Now, add the mixture of saffron and almond oil to the water and allow it to boil. Let it heat this way for 30-40 minutes.
In the end, strain out the saffron spice and voila you have your saffron oil ready for use!
Notes
Use the oil in moderation. If you are using saffron oil for skincare, use jojoba oil or sweet almond oil. While using for cooking, use coconut oil or olive oil, and for hair care, just about any oil base would do.
