A PERSIAN REFRESHMENT
Ruby Saffron & Orange-Blossom Sharbat
Saffron’s amber warmth, a measured splash of pomegranate and the fragrance of orange blossom. A non-alcoholic drink in cut glass.

The method
- Crush saffron and steep in the hot water for 10 minutes. Dissolve sugar in the warm infusion, then cool completely.
- Mix with cold water, pomegranate and lemon juice. Add orange-blossom water sparingly, checking its strength.
- Pour over ice into two food-safe faceted glasses. Add only a few certified edible, pesticide-free petals if available; otherwise omit them.
