Boil for about 5 minutes to let the flavors infuse. Then, add 2 tablespoons of jaggery powder and stir well. Keep the heat low and let it simmer for another 10 minutes before straining the drink.

For those who are allergic to certain spices, you can omit cloves or black pepper and still enjoy a flavorful drink. Additionally, if you don't have fresh ginger, ground ginger can be used in a pinch, but use it sparingly.

  3. How should I store the leftover immune-boosting drink?

    If you have leftover immune-boosting drink, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within 2-3 days for the best flavor and health benefits. You can reheat it gently on the stove or in the microwave before drinking, but avoid boiling it again to preserve the nutrients.

  4. What foods or meals pair well with this immune-boosting drink?

    This immune-boosting drink pairs wonderfully with light meals such as salads, soups, or whole grain toast. It can also be enjoyed alongside breakfast items like oatmeal or yogurt for a nutritious start to your day. The spices in the drink complement savory dishes, making it a great accompaniment to Indian curries or rice dishes.

  5. Is this immune-boosting drink suitable for everyone, including those with dietary restrictions?

    Yes, this immune-boosting drink is generally suitable for most people, including vegetarians and those following a gluten-free diet. However, individuals with specific allergies to any of the spices or jaggery should avoid it or consult with a healthcare provider. Always check ingredient labels if you're using pre-packaged items to ensure they meet your dietary needs.
