  3. Black Pepper: 1 teaspoon (whole or crushed)
  4. Salt: A pinch
  5. Cinnamon Stick: 1 small piece
  6. Ginger: 1-inch piece (crushed)
  7. Cardamom: 2 pods (crushed)
  8. Honey: 1-2 teaspoons (adjust to taste)

Tools :

  • Crushing Tool (mortar and pestle or any suitable crushing tool)
  • Filtering Tool (strainer or cheesecloth)

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Assemble all the ingredients in the specified quantities: a few cloves, a pinch of black pepper, a small amount of salt, a cinnamon stick, a piece of ginger, and a couple of cardamom pods.

Step 2: Crush Ginger and Spices

Using a crushing tool, gently crush the ginger, clove, black pepper, and cardamom. This helps release the essential oils and flavors.

Step 3: Boil Water

In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the crushed ginger and spices to the boiling water.

Step 4: Add Cinnamon and Salt

Drop in the cinnamon stick and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture well, allowing the spices to infuse into the water.

Step 5: Simmer

Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the concoction simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the beneficial compounds to be extracted

Step 6: Filter the Decoction

After simmering, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to filter out the crushed spices and ginger, collecting the clear decoction in a cup or bowl.

Step 7: Add Honey

Allow the decoction to cool slightly, then add 1-2 teaspoons of honey, adjusting to your desired sweetness. Honey not only adds a sweet note but also contributes its own health benefits.

Step 8: Enjoy Warmth and Wellness

Sip on this aromatic Ayurvedic Herbal Decoction while it's still warm. Feel the comforting warmth and embrace the potential health benefits of the carefully selected herbs and spices.

Note:

  • Adjust the quantity of honey and spices according to your taste preferences.
