In these tough times, Kadha has been something I'm sticking to everyday. It boosts immunity and wards off simple cold and cough. I usually have it in the evening. I also feel it helps me gain back my energy after a tiring day. 

Preparation Time :15 minutes

Servings :3 cups

Ingredients:-

1. Water

2. Tulsi leaves

3. Black pepper / gol mirch

4. Cloves / lawang

5. Cinnamon / dalchini

6. Regular tea leaves

7. Honey

8. Ginger

Method :-

1. Take 3 cups of water in a sauce pan and heat it on medium flame. 

2. Add 10-15 tulsi leaves into the boiling water. Tear them a little with your hand before adding them. 

3. Take around 1 inch of ginger . Grate it with a grater and add it into the water. 

4. Now take 4 black pepper, crush them a little and add it into the pan. 

5. Now add : 2 crushed cloves and a little piece of cinnamon. 

6. Finally add ⅓ of a teaspoon of tea leaves. Stir it once and let it boil for around 10 minutes. 

7. After 10 minutes, turn off the gas and let it cool. 

8 . Now in a cup take ½ tablespoon of honey and strain the kadha into it. 

9. Mix it well before drinking. 

I prefer crushing the raw form of spices rather than using the readymade powdered form available in the market. You can use either.
