To incorporate saffron into your cooking, you can first infuse it in warm liquid like broth or water to release its flavor and color. You can then add this saffron-infused liquid to your dishes such as rice, soups, stews, or sauces. Additionally, you can directly crumble saffron threads into your dishes for a more intense flavor. Remember, a little saffron goes a long way, so use it sparingly to enhance the overall taste and aroma of your dishes.
