Healthy Skin Peach and Saffron Iced Tea Recipe

Holy saffron tea ! Look at that gorgeous color ! Let me tell you that I am so proud of how this turned out. Seriously I did not even miss my iced coconut milk latte yesterday, as I was happily sipping away on my iced saffron tea.

It is insanely hot in California ( just look at that pitcher sweating within half a second outside), and this is a fabulous way to stay hydrated while keeping your skin glowing and healthy. Yes, healthy skin is what you get from drinking rooibos tea, imagine that ! I’m not even gonna go into the health benefits of saffron, but just off the top of my head saffron is really good for you and me.



From preventing disease to promoting overall well being of our bodies, saffron is a spice to be treasured. I picked up a jar at the market the other week, a nice deep red Spanish saffron that I usually need to make my healthy Spanish paella . And as i was going trough my spice rack it dawned on me that I should make some refreshing iced saffron tea.

  • 4 rooibos tea bags
  • 1 yellow peach sliced
  • 5 sprigs fresh Genoese basil
