It is winter and everyone is falling ill: having on-off feverish feeling, cough, cold etc. I have been suffering a lot because of the cold weather. My mom gave me this herbal recipe which to a great extend helped me in beating the winter illness. So I thought of sharing it with everyone. It is home made and hence it is safe and also very easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Ingredients:
- Betel leaf/ Pan leaf/ Vettila - 1
- Cumin seeds/ Jeera seeds - 1 spoon
- Pepper seeds - 1 spoon
- Dry ginger/ Chai wali adrak/ Chukku - 1 piece
- Organic jaggery/ Palm sugar/ Karupatti - 1 small lump chopped
- Coffee powder - a pinch
Preparation:
- Grind all the spices - dry ginger(chukku), pepper seeds, cumin seeds and keep aside.
- Take a pan and boil 2 glasses of water. Once water starts to boil, tear the betel leaf randomly and add it. Let it boil for 1 min.
- Add the ground spices and palm sugar (karupatti) and stir well. Let it boil for 1 min.
- Add a small spoon full of coffee powder. Switch off the flame and close it with a lid.
- Let it remain closed for 5mins. After that, drain the coffee using a filter into a cup.
- Drink hot!
Since dry ginger is good for digestion the one side effect I found was that it increased my appetite. I started to feel hungry very soon. So be prepared to munch something good :)
