Coconut Water Kefir Saffron Lemonade
Saffron is actually the dried stigmas (tiny threadlike strands) of the crocus flower (Crocus sativus). They are hand picked, and you only need a tiny bit as saffron is very strong and has many benefits. Saffron is known to help with depression, asthma, arteriosclerosis, cancer, and known to offer menstrual relief. Many people do not know the many health benefits that can be gained from using a small amount of saffron.
