Assalaamu alaikum,
For 3 persons, we need,
1/2 inch piece of dry ginger
1 tsp of dry corinander seeds
10 pepper corns
1 green cardomom
palm sugar - to taste
honey - to taste
Grind all the above to a fine powder ( or slightly coarse). Bring 3 cups of water to boil. Add the ground powder to the boiling water. Cover it with a lid and it simmer for 5 minutes. Filter with a fine sieve or muslin cloth and serve with honey. If palm sugar is not available, just honey will do.
This is an excellent cure for sore throat, relieves cold and is good for indigestion. More powder can be ground with the same proportion and stored in an air tight container. But I prefer to prepare it freshly ground lest the aroma is lost. It takes just a moment to put things together and grind.
There is a home remedy for dry cough also. Add a pinch of turmeric powder, pepper powder and lots of palm sugar to boiling milk, let it simmer for a while and filter. Palm sugar is a must. When had at bed time this relieves dry cough and helps to sleep soundly.
