The cold-season remedy. Three ingredients.
In Hindi: Nani ki Kadha | Time: 10 minutes | Serves: 1–2
You need
- 1 glass water
- 1/4 tsp Sookhi Adrak (dry ginger powder)
- A pinch of Tulsi powder (or 4–5 dried tulsi leaves)
- Honey — to taste, added off the heat
Method
Bring the water to a boil. Add the sonth and tulsi. Simmer for 5 minutes. The water should turn golden and smell like it means something. Strain into a cup. Let it cool to warm (not hot). Add honey. Drink while steaming.
When
When someone has a cold. When the weather changes. When the body feels run down before the sickness has fully arrived.
"The honey goes in last. Boiling kills it." — Nani
