Jaggery Tea

Traditional Indian chai sweetened with jaggery instead of sugar — earthy, caramel-like, and deeply comforting. A healthier, more flavourful alternative to regular chai.

Method

  1. 1

    Boil water with ginger

    Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add grated ginger and let it infuse for 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add tea leaves

    Add the loose-leaf tea and brew for 1–2 minutes until the water turns deep amber.

  3. 3

    Add milk

    Pour in the milk and bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Add jaggery

    Remove from heat and add the grated jaggery. Stir until completely dissolved. Do not boil after adding jaggery — it can curdle the milk.

  5. 5

    Strain and serve

    Strain through a fine mesh strainer into cups. Serve immediately.
