چای زعفران

زعفران یا زرپران یکی از گرانبهاترین ادویه ها در جهان محسوب میشه و درو کردن زعفران با دست انجام میگیره. و بی دلیل نیست که از زعفران به عنوان پادشاه ادویه ها و یا خورشید ادویه ها نام میبرن.و این عناوین برای زعفران فقط به دلیل رنگ زیبای قرمز یا زردش نیست بلکه زعفران نه تنها رنگ و طعم و عِطر فوق‌العاده‌ای رو به غذا یا شیرینی میده بلکه خواص زیادی برای سلامتی ما داره: زعفران ضد افسردگی هست – برای تقویت حافظه و سلامت قلب خوبه .ایران بیشترین میزان زعفران دنیا رو تولید میکنه.

من در یکی از پست های قبلم شربت زعفران رو به اشتراک گذاشتم و امروز خواستم چای زعفرانی که درست کردم به اشتراک بگذارم.

چای زعفران رو میشه به آسونی در منزل تهیه کرد : تمام چیزهایی که نیاز هست شامل کمی رشته‌های زعفران– آب جوش– عسل یا شکر و چند ادویه هست. میتونید از گیاهان یا ادویه های دیگر هم با زعفران همراه کنید. مثلن می تونید چند برگ نعنای تازه یا لیمو ترش اضافه کنید– می تونید رشته‌های زعفران رو با خود چای سیاه مخلوط کنید– می تونید مثل من از دارچین استفاده کنید ولی می تونید از هل بجای دارچین استفاده کنید–حتی می تونید شیر و یا شیر نارگیل بهش اضافه کنید و طعم غلیظ تری به چای زعفرانیتون بدید.

خوب می‌بینید که در‌واقع من بجای یک طرز تهیه چای زعفران چندین نوع طرز تهیه رو گفتم. .

مواد لازم

نصف ق چ رشته‌های زعفران

کمی پودر هل سبز

یک شاخه کوچک دارچین

عسل یا شکر

طرز تهیه

سه پیمانه آب را بجوش آورید. رشته‌های زعفران را همراه با دارچین و هل داخل آبجوش ریخته و اجازه دهید روی حرارت ملایم برای ۸–۵ دقیقه زعفران دم کشیده و رنگ قشنگ زعفران کاملن ظاهر شود.

. –زمان ریختن چای می‌توانید یک برش لیمو ترش و یا کمی عسل یا شکر به چای اضافه کنید.

چای زعفران را می‌توانید به صورت گرم یا سرد میل کنید.

Hello everyone, my name is Rozina. I am Iranian with Azerbaijani roots. I was raised in Iran but I am living in Scotland. I am passionate about cooking and preparing meals for my family and friends. I tell them the story behind the meal, the pronunciation of their Iranian name and the spices that used in Persian cuisine. I am a photographer, a cooking teacher, and very interested to introduce Persian and Azerbaijani meals, desserts and beverages to people from different cultures, as I love to try food from all over the world. Iranian cuisine is a combination of rice with meat ( chicken, beef, lamb, fish, turkey), nuts, fruits, dried and fresh herbs and vegetables. Iranian food is a celebration of flavor, colour and spices such as: saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, dried rose petals, dried limes, cumin, .... I share my recipes in Farsi/English along with step by step photos of preparation. I take all my own pictures. I have learned my traditional Persian and Azerbaijani recipes from my lovely mother, and she has learned from her mother. Over the years, I have experimented and learned more recipes. Some of my recipes are a fusion Western and Middle Eastern cuisine. Some are forgotten from Persian cooking tables and I try with posting and sharing those ones, to preserve them. All my recipes and pictures are property of rozinaspersiankitchen. I would be pleased if you would mention my site if you wish to use any of them. So, if you are interested to know about Persian /Azerbaijani food taste, you can try my website. I will be glad to hear your ideas about my recipes. :) Thank you for visiting my website.
