The biggest secret of making jaggery tea lies in the balance of its temperature. If you use cold milk or boil it too much after adding jaggery, the chances of the milk curdling increases. In such a situation, you can prepare a strong and aromatic tea by making the right combination of milk and jaggery.
Correct measurement and boiling of water
First of all, add one cup of water for two cups of tea in the tea pan. Always start making tea with fresh water. Keep the gas flame on high and wait for the water to boil first. Only when the water starts boiling well, the next ingredient should be added so that the tea extract can come out properly.
fresh ginger flavor
As soon as the water boils, add grated or crushed ginger to it. By putting ginger in boiling water, its pungency and aroma dissolve well in the water. Ginger not only enhances the taste, but along with jaggery also provides relief from sore throat and cold.
correct way to add jaggery
Now add jaggery as per taste. Keep in mind that break the jaggery into small pieces and add it so that it melts quickly. Let the jaggery boil with water and ginger until it dissolves completely. It is better to add tea leaves only after the jaggery melts so that the color of the tea becomes dark and beautiful.
The magic of tea leaves and low flame
After the jaggery melts, add tea leaves of your choice. Now slow down the gas flame. By letting the tea boil for a while on low flame, the flavors of jaggery, ginger and tea leaves mix well. This step is very important to make the tea strong and aromatic.
magical use of hot milk
This is where most people make mistakes. According to Kabita’s Kitchen, you should never add cold milk to tea. Boil the milk separately and add the boiled hot milk to the tea mixture. By adding hot milk, there is no sudden difference in the temperature of tea and milk, which eliminates the risk of milk curdling.

Last boil and turn off the gas
After adding milk, cook the tea just till it comes to a boil. As soon as the tea starts rising upwards, immediately turn off the gas. Boiling tea with jaggery for too long after adding milk can cause it to curdle. Just give it a boil and your hot, healthy jaggery tea is ready to serve.
