Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Jaggery (grated or powdered)
- 1 tablespoon Black tea leaves
- 2 pieces Cardamom pods
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Milk (optional)
Instructions
Start by placing 2 cups of water in a medium-sized saucepan and set it over medium heat.
As the water begins to warm, add the grated or powdered jaggery to the pan. Stir occasionally to help it dissolve completely.
Crack the cardamom pods gently using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon to release their flavor. Add them to the pot along with the sliced fresh ginger.
Once the jaggery has dissolved and the water is gently simmering, add 1 tablespoon of black tea leaves to the mixture.
Let the tea simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse thoroughly.
If you prefer your tea with milk, add 0.5 cup of milk into the saucepan. Stir it well and let the mixture come to a gentle boil.
Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent the milk from boiling over.
Once brewed, strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves, cardamom pods, and ginger pieces.
Serve hot and enjoy your soothing, sugar-free jaggery tea.
