- Next, add the tea leaves and let them simmer for about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the milk and give a nice stir. Allow it to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Using a tea strainer, strain the tea.
- Now add the jaggery powder to the tea and mix well.
- Serve the hot jaggery tea immediately!
Notes
- You can use non-dairy products to make this jaggery tea, such as almond milk, soy milk, oats milk, etc. Do not boil the non-dairy kinds of milk; just let it simmer gently to attain that frothy texture.
- You can make use of any type of jaggery, such as palm jaggery or date palm jaggery; anything is fine.
- Also, you are free to adjust the quantity of jaggery according to your taste preferences.
- If you prefer your tea to be of strong flavour, then let it brew for a longer time.
- Adding jaggery to the hot milk curdles the milk because of the acidic nature of jaggery. To prevent this, follow the steps mentioned above properly.
- I prefer using strong Assam tea leaves to make a cup of hot jaggery tea for myself. However, you can use tea leaves of your choice.
