- Tulsi or Mint leaves - 12 leaves with stem
- Dry Ginger - 100 grams
- Coriander Seeds - 50 gms
- Black pepper - 25 gms
- Karuppatti (black jaggery) - 500 gms
Procedure:
- Dry grind and store the dry ginger, coriander seeds and black pepper in an airtight container.
- Boil 6 cups of water and add 6 to 8 teaspoons of ground powder.
- Add black jaggery approximately 8 teaspoons or according to the individual taste
- Allow it to simmer for 20 minutes
- Now 3 cups of chukku coffee is ready
- 1/4 cup of warm milk can be added if required just before drinking
- Note: Always prepare the chukku coffee as fresh as possible. Never reheat it once milk is added since milk will get curdled. This is a stimulant for the digestive system.
