Potion for keeping the cold at bay

The monsoons are lovely when you are viewing it from the safety of your covered balcony, but unfortunately, we need to get out of the house too, and when we do, the sniffles follow us back home. This is the potion that is keeping me alive.

Dry roast 1 tbsp dhania powder, 1 tsp jeera powder, 1 tsp peppercorns, and roughly pound it.


Take 2 cups of water.
Add a 2 inch piece of ginger roughly sliced, and the ground spices, and bring to boil. Lower heat, and let it simmer till the volume becomes half.
Have it hot, but not boiling hot.
Add 1 tsp honey, for taste, if required.
