Ingredients
Ingredients
- 7.5 leaves Carom Leaves ajwain, fresh
- 2 tsp Tea Leaves black
- 1 cup Water
- Sugar to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to a rolling boil. This ensures the carom leaves steep properly and release their full flavor.
- Add the fresh carom leaves to the boiling water. The aroma will be immediately noticeable.
- Reduce the heat slightly and let the carom leaves simmer for about 5 minutes. This gentle simmering helps extract the beneficial properties of the ajwain.
- Add the black tea leaves. Increase the heat back to a boil for 1 minute. This brief boil helps activate the tea leaves.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it with a lid. Allow the tea to steep for 1 minute. Steeping off the heat prevents the tea from becoming bitter.
- Strain the tea into your favorite mug. This removes the carom and tea leaves, leaving you with a smooth, flavorful tea.
- Add sugar to taste, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a more intense carom flavor, lightly crush the ajwain leaves between your palms before adding them to the boiling water.
- If you prefer a caffeine-free version, substitute normal tea leaves with dried lemongrass or tulsi leaves.
- To enhance the tea’s warming properties, add a small slice of fresh ginger or a pinch of black pepper while brewing.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the steeping time to your preference. A shorter steep will result in a lighter, more delicate flavor, while a longer steep will create a bolder, more robust tea.
- Experiment with other spices like cardamom, cinnamon, or cloves to customize your Carom Tea.
- For a sweeter tea, add honey or your preferred sweetener after brewing, as adding it during brewing can hinder the infusion process.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover Carom Tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and gently reheated.
- It also makes a refreshing iced beverage when served over ice with a wedge of lemon.
