Drop few strands of saffron in about 50 ml of warm milk and keep aside for half an hour. The milk will turn golden orange in some time indicating that the saffron has discharged its extracts/flavour into the milk.

This acts a good skin cleanser and moisturizer too resulting in a clean radiant glow.
