Kritika Handa
In a pan, boil 2 cups of water on medium heat.
Add 1 inch of crushed ginger and 8-10 tulsi (holy basil) leaves to the boiling water.
Toss in 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 cinnamon stick, and 2-3 cloves for their healing properties.
Stir in ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder to boost immunity and fight infections.
Let the kadha simmer for 10-15 minutes until the water reduces to about half.
Strain the liquid into a cup using a strainer to remove the spices and herbs.
Once cooled slightly, add 1 teaspoon of honey and a few drops of lemon juice for taste and additional health benefits.
