Milagu kashayam recipe
Ingredients
Black pepper - 1 tbsp

Cumin seeds - 2 tsp

Sugar - 1 tbsp

Honey - 1 tbsp

Method
Dry roast black pepper until it pops, lower the flame and add cumin seeds. Wait for it to crackle too.
Remove in a plate to cool down, mean while, in low flame, add sugar to the same pan, let it melt and start turning deep in colour.
Carefully add 2 cups water. Let it boil. Powder the pepper and cumin.
Add to the boiling water. Let it boil for 5 mins in medium flame or until the water reduces to half.
Filter and let it become warm. Mix honey (or jaggery/ palm sugar).
Notes
While roasting pepper, cover with a lid as it pops.
Add cumin after the pepper pops as cumin seeds tend to get roasted soon.
While caramelizing sugar, do it in medium flame. Be careful while adding water.
The filtered residue can be again boiled with water to get a lighter dose of kashayam.
As this is strong, just take one dose per day.
