Ingredients

  • Hot Milk- 3/4 cup
  • Water- 1/2 cup
  • Jaggery powder- 1.5 tsp
  • Kashaya powder- 1 tsp

Instructions

Method

  • Boil half cup of water, then add a tea spoon of kashaya powder. Bring it to rolling boil so that the spices in the powder impart their aroma to the drink.
  • Include 1 to 1.5 tea spoon of jaggery powder and let it dissolve completely in kashaya mixture. Then include hot milk, as it continues to boil switch off the flame and strain the kashaya in to cup.
  • Aromatic and healthy herbal drink kashaya is ready. You can drink it as a substitute of tea, coffee and relish it's health benefits.

Notes

  • You can replace jaggery by sugar or sugar candy as per your preference. But I would recommend jaggery itself.
  • 1.5 teaspoon of jaggery gives appropriate sweetness and suits my taste buds. Adjust as per your requirement.
  • It's always better to include hot milk to kashaya while boiling, if we boil milk along with kashaya mix for long it tends to curdle.
