    Hooked onto coffee or tea? That's ok. You can still negate the bad effects of caffeine on the Indian Kashaya.

    I understand if you are hooked on coffee or tea because I am guilty of it too. The relief I get from a little caffeine early in the morning is irreplaceable, but it definitely comes with long-term side effects. So I have always tried to make up for it with some healthy changes.

    Kashya powder is on the bowl

    Kashaya Powder is a mixture of Indian spices and natural herbs. Stirred with hot milk, it is a healthy concoction, similar to green tea. I like to use it as a regular bedtime drink for healthy results. Apart from boosting the immune system, kashaya keeps you away from the common cold, fever, headache, and other ailments.

    Main Ingredients for kashaya

    A bowl of food on a table

    My mom usually makes kashaya powder with some fresh spices. But I thought to add some additional spices likeJeyshta Madhu, ( Dried Liquorice Root) and Dry ginger along with the standard ingredients.

    How to make Kashaya

    8 simple ingredients can make a powerful and healthy drink that you can make at home.

    let's get started:

    1. Fry all the ingredients separately, in the pan with medium heat, until you get a nice aroma.
    2. Blend them all together and store in an airtight container.
    3. Use 1 to 2 teaspoon for 1 cup of kashaya.

    Boil the kashaya powder in water and add milk at the end and sugar or jaggery to suit your taste. It is normal to filter out the powder after it steeps in hot water. I prefer to drink it without filtering.

      I always make my girls "yellow tea" when they have a cough. This sounds way better than what I usually make and I love the idea of having the spices all ready ahead of time!
