Beat
the fromage frais until smooth, then stir in the
infused saffron liquid.
Use
a pair of scissors to snip the chives into the
dip. Tear the basil leaves into small pieces and
stir them in.
Season
with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with vegetable
crudités.

VARIATION:
Leave out the saffron and add a squeeze of lemon
or lime juice instead. Alternatively, replace
the saffron strands with ground saffron powder.
