Saffron Lemonade

Here’s a recipe for the reader who asked for lemonade with a Greek twist using Greek Kozani Saffron, one of the highest quality saffron kinds in the world. This refreshing lemonade with a distinct taste can also be prepared with honey instead of sugar.

For 4 servings
Juice from 8 big lemons
150 gr. Caster sugar
2 tsp saffron threads
Salt

Preparation
In a big jug add lemon juice, sugar and saffron threads. Add 100 ml warm water so that saffron is dissolved as much as possible. Add 700 ml cold water and stir well. If the lemonade is too sour for your taste, add more water.
Rum the rim of a cocktail glass with lemon juice, and dip in salt. Put the glasses in the fridge until you serve the lemonade –with lots of ice and thin lemon slices. The more the saffron stays in the lemonade the more the colour deepens and the stronger the taste grows.
