One of the simplest the tea recepi ever and thats Safflower tea for you. Do not mistake Safflower with Saffron eventhough, both look similar. Safflower also known as poor man's saffron has been used for ages as substitute to Saffron. Just like Saffron, Safflower derive a beautiful golden hue when soak in water which is perfect for food dying with natural way. Safflower oil used for salad dressing as well.
My elder Dandelion is a big fan of herbal teas especially fruits and flowers tea. She have almost 20-25 varieties of herbal tea collection and Safflower are one of them. I used Safflower for my Indian kheer,making tea and in my aromatic rice varieties. In this recipe, adding honey is an optional. There are days we just have our Safflower tea without any sweetener and it tastes as good. I bought Safflower via online and absolutely no regret of buying. One of my best tea purchase I shall admit.
Safflower aids weight loss, lowers cholesterol,improves blood sugar levels,boost heart health, soothes dry skin and reduce inflammation. Safflower has potential for blood thinning which prevent blood clotting thus, if you have bleeding disorder or undergoing surgery do avoid taking Safflower. Just like everything & anything moderation is the key. Do not overconsume Safflower tea or oil.
