Kada - Home remedy for cold & cough

Its pretty tasty, comforts your sore throat, unblocks your nose, decongests your chest, and provides some relief from cough.

In winters you can drink this as many times as your want in a day, but in summers limit the consumption as all the ingredients are "hot"

For 1.5 cups:

3 cups water
1.5 inch of ginger pound or grated or sliced fine
4 cloves
1 inch Cinnamon
5 green cardamom
7 black pepper corns (coarsely ground)
2 tbsp of Fennel seeds
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1 tbsp sugar

Boil everything toagther until water reduces to half the original quantity.
Strain & drink HOT. If you think its too strong, mix a little milk (about 2 tbsp for 1 cup kada).

You can also add tea leaves & milk into it and drink it like spiced chai.

I usually make quite a bit and keep the left over unstrained kada in the fridge. It keeps well for upto a week.
