"Make a tea from the American Saffron; a teaspoonful to a pint of water, let steep as tea or
in a crock, and so that the water simmers but not boils too much. This would be strained,
and it may be taken two to three times a day, a good big swallow, or a small jigger of the
solution." (602-5)

Preparation of Saffron Tea taken from "Healing Psoriasis", by John O.A. Pagano
To Make Saffron Tea: Place about a quarter teaspoon of saffron tea in cup, then pour boiling
water over it and stir. Cool, strain, and drink. This should be made fresh each time it is
taken. Saffron tea is best taken at night, just before retiring. This tea is to be taken
consistently until the skin is clear, or at least five days a week, and then periodically to
keep the 'passageways' cleansed for proper elimination."

To make Saffron Water: Boil one gallon of pure water and add one teaspoon of American yellow
saffron tea; allow the mixture to soak for twenty minutes. This should make the water light
yellow-orange. When the water cools, strain it and pour it into a glass or porcelain
container, or the original gallon jug the water came in, and then refrigerate. This is to be
used as drinking water whenever desired. It is recommended to drink two to four glasses of
saffron water a day. This may be considered part of the suggested daily intake of six to
eight glasses of drinking water.

Suggested Use:
Make a tea by adding 1 heaping teaspoon of saffron to 2 cups of boiling water. Allow to
steep for 15-20 minutes. Strain, serve, and enjoy. Make fresh daily.
