When you decide to get on with LIFE and COMMON COLD strikes you...

| ek garam chai ki pyali ho! |
I know, most of the West-world is obsessed with TEA. I, on the other hand is not so fond of tea but off-late I am so sick with mountains stuck in my throat, nothing is more appealing to me than a cuppa-tea :)
Well, this is Adrak-Pudina-Elaichi (Ginger-Mint-Cardamom) Tea - so perfect to kill the cold-bugs stuck in my throat and head.
Recipe for the Adrak-Pudina-Elaichi (Ginger-Mint-Cardamom) Tea (makes 2-3 cups)
- 2-3 cups boiled water
- Handful of Mint (about 7-10 leaves)
- 4-5 whole cardamom
- 1 and half inch whole ginger - peeled and crushed
- 2 tbsp tea powder (strong, any brand that appeals to you, I used Red Label)
- 2 tsp sugar (can use honey, any sweetener, or no sweetener)
- Milk
- Bring water to a boil and switch off the gas and soak mint leaves in the water for 1-2 mins.
-Switch the gas on and keep on medium flame and add sugar and allow the sugar to dissolve completely before adding crushed cardamom and ginger. Allow to boil for a minute.
-Strain the cardamom, ginger and mint leaves from the water and turn the flame to high getting the water to boil once again and add tea powder.
-Once the tea is ready add milk as required.
-Serve piping hot with Khari-toast --- YUM!
