Expert Tips

• boil – I boil the milk on low flame so that it does not overflow. Slow simmering helps in flavor so mix well.
• Taste – I add dry ginger and black pepper only after the milk starts boiling. This prevents raw taste in the drink.
• adjust sweetness – I taste and then add sugar accordingly. Too much sugar can reduce the spicy effect.
• dilute if necessary – If serving for someone suffering from extreme cold, you can dilute the milk by adding a little water. This makes it light and easy to drink.
• always serve hot – It should be served hot only. Warm drinks provide better relief to the throat.
