Ingredients

  • 500 ml Water
  • 1 tsp Ajwain Seeds Carrom Seeds
  • 1 tsp Tea Leaves Or 1 tea bag
  • 2 tsp Honey Adjust to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, add water and ajwain seeds. Place it on the stove over medium heat and bring it to a boil.
  • Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the ajwain seeds simmer for about 5 minutes. This will infuse the water with ajwain's flavours.
  • After 5 minutes, add the tea leaves (or tea bag) to the water. Allow the tea to steep for another 2-3 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
  • While the tea is steeping, add ground ginger and ground turmeric to the saucepan. These spices will add a warm and aromatic flavour to the tea.
  • After steeping, remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the tea into your cups to remove the ajwain seeds and tea leaves.
  • Stir in honey to sweeten the tea. Adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.
  • Finally, add a splash of lemon juice to brighten up the flavours of the tea.
  • Serve your homemade Ajwain Tea warm and enjoy its soothing and aromatic flavours!
