½ tsp crushed peppercorns
1 crushed cardamom

Ingredients

Preparation

1.Dissolve the grated jaggery in water and add fresh chopped ginger or dry ginger powder to it.
2.I prefer fresh ginger to the dry powder as it gives more fresh taste and zing to the drink.
3. The dry ginger loses some properties of fresh ones. Boil the mixture and filter it. Add crushed cardamom and peppercorns to it. Now its ready for Prasadam.
