Instructions

1. Rinse the rice three times in cold water, then soak for 10 minutes and drain.
2. Place the rice and water into a medium saucepan. Add the saffron and its soaking water and the cinnamon stick.
3. Cover the pan with a lid. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a low heat and cook for 8–10 minutes. Check a grain of rice for doneness.
4. When it’s ready, remove the cinnamon stick. Fluff up the rice with a fork and season with a little salt.
