This immunity booster drink (also called Ayurvedic Kadha) is a home made herbal tea that has therapeutic benefits during a cough, cold or sore throat. This drink has several spices and condiments that have anti microbial and anti inflammatory properties.
Ginger is rich in anti oxidants and is known for its anti-microbial properties. Raisins are a natural cough suppressant and also impart a subtle sweetness to the tea. Cinnamon and cloves are anti-inflammatory. Black peppercorns help in clearing out your nasal passages and sinuses. Turmeric powder is widely known for its anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and lastly, mint leaves are a natural decongestant that leaves a cooling and soothing effect on your throat!
You can also add honey to this tea but add it only after the tea turns lukewarm and is not piping hot. Adding honey to hot tea makes it toxic according to ayurvedic science.
