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)
Directions
Step 1
Start by placing 2 cups of water in a medium-sized saucepan and set it over medium heat.
Step 2
As the water begins to warm, add the grated or powdered jaggery to the pan. Stir occasionally to help it dissolve completely.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Once the jaggery has dissolved and the water is gently simmering, add 1 tablespoon of black tea leaves to the mixture.
Step 5
Let the tea simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse thoroughly.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent the milk from boiling over.
Step 8
Once brewed, strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves, cardamom pods, and ginger pieces.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your soothing, sugar-free jaggery tea.
