Greek saffron—known as Krokos Kozanis PDO—is primarily used by steeping the threads in a warm liquid (water, broth, or milk) for at least 20–30 minutes before use, or by grinding them into a powder and adding them toward the end of the cooking process.
Preparation Techniques
Steeping the threads: Place the threads in a small cup with a little warm (not boiling—about 50–60°C) water or broth for 30–60 minutes, then add the entire mixture (liquid and threads) to your dish.
Using it as a powder: If using powdered Greek saffron, dissolve it first in a spoonful of warm water or milk to prevent clumping, or add it to your dish during the final minutes of cooking.
Quick toasting: You can wrap the threads in parchment paper, heat them for a few seconds in a warm pan, gently crumble them with your fingers, and then dissolve them into your liquid.
