Sleepless college exam and assignments nights were made comforting by mom's saffron almond milk. I always wondered how come one glass of this tasty milk kept me going all night without dozing off. Well a recent study shows Saffron extract is a great appetite suppressant and can help control emotional overeating. I also saw this on the famous Dr.Oz show.
Saffron consumed in right amount, has been proved to reduce sugar cravings or hunger between meals. So you eat less calories and slowly loose weight. Saffron is also long known for its anti-depressant properties.
That explains those long exam nights. Mom always knows the best :)
Recipe
1 cup milk
7-10 strands of saffron
5-7 raw almonds
5-7 pistachios
pinch of cardamom powder
sugar or honey to taste
