#12 Saffron Cyser

three honey blend: leatherwood, orange blossom, Texas wildflower
pinch grape tannin
unfiltered apple juice (just under a gallon)
25 threads of saffron, soaked in warm water
small handful white raisins
D47 yeast

OG 1.12

I chose the leatherwood honey because of the spicy flavor, the orange blossom for the citrus/floral character, and the darker wildflower honey for some warm undertones I think will complement the saffron. I'm totally unsure about the amount of saffron, but I can always age it with a bit more.

edit: On second thought, I added a pinch of nutrient.
