Persian Saffron Rice (using Apothecary Mortar & Pestle)

Little else could be as quintessentially Persian as Saffron Rice, bejeweled with verdant pistachio and ruby like barberries. Saffron offers as much in the flavor department as it does for health and wellness, as a powerful anti-inflammatory herb. Always grind your saffron with a pinch of sugar before infusing to get the most you can out of this prized spice!
