Hi..
Thank you for such healthy drink ... I dont drink tea coffe I was looking for one such recipe and I spotted this... Is this all season kashaya? I mean can it be taken through out the year? Sugar candy(Kallu sakkare) should it be red or white one?

Cheerful Lady said...

Hello Vishku.....

First let me thank you for the beautiful words you said....this is not a seasonal drink ....It helps you to be fit .....You can have this kashaya every morning instead of tea or coffee..........
try more things and let me your opinions.....
Thanks once again...

Heee Vishku

Red kallu sakkare is better to use it. But if you do not get the red Kallu sakkare you can make use of the white one.....and of course you can drink this any time of the year...and its 100% healthy.
