I have been feeling dizzy and lethargic for the last couple of days, the only thing that is keeping me up and running is this homemade herbal coffee.<\/p>\n<p>My mom and my grandma used to make this all the time. Whenever I fell sick, my mom made sure to brew this and a single cup of this coffee had done instant wonders to me, all of a sudden I would feel uplifted. \u00a0When I was looking for a way to get rid of my headache, my eyes caught on the box of jaggery in the pantry ( you would be wondering why am I looking in the pantry for headache remedy:\u00a0 I always look for natural remedies before I even think of taking any medicine and most of the time it works for me) I was reminded of this long lost companion. What a perfect timing! I got what I needed and without even wasting a single second, I started brewing this coffee.<\/p>\n<p>I took out almost all the spices from my pantry: cardamom, cloves, dry ginger, whole pepper seeds &amp; cumin. As soon as the spice-rich water started to boil, I added a few leaves of fresh basil. I can&#8217;t really put into words, the aroma that spreads while brewing this coffee.<\/p>\n<p>You can have this coffee any day, especially on days you are feeling low.<\/p>\n<p>On a rainy cold day, this coffee would make a great companion&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26609\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Basil-coffee-chukku-kaapi-homemade-herbal-coffee.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Basil-coffee-chukku-kaapi-homemade-herbal-coffee.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Basil-coffee-chukku-kaapi-homemade-herbal-coffee-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Basil-coffee-chukku-kaapi-homemade-herbal-coffee-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking Video: How to make Homemade Herbal Coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Herbal Coffee with Basil Recipe- Chukku Kappi- Home Remedy for Cold-Cough- Healthy Jaggery Coffee\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/diKJLmuAAG0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipeWrapper mceNonEditable\">\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/img_1882-copy-1.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Homemade Herbal Coffee or Chukku Kaapi<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">2 Cups<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 3 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Jaggery or palm sugar- 3-inch slice (must add)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole Cardamom- 3, slightly crushed<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cloves- 2, slightly crushed<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Dried Ginger- 2-inch slice or use 1 1\/2 tsp ground dried ginger<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole black pepper or ground black pepper- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground cumin- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Fresh Basil or Tulsi leaves- 10 leaves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Instant coffee- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">To a saucepan, add all the ingredients into the water except coffee, cover the pan with the lid.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Don&#8217;t replace jaggery with white sugar.
