The saffron stigma is plucked by hand from the harvested crocus sativus. It is the most expensive spice of all. To use saffron stigmas, you need to boil 10cl of water and infuse them from 3 hours to a full day. You can divide the stigmas in two or three parts for best infusion. There are numerous recipes and saffron can replace vanilla in custard but also enhance risotto or fish.
