Immunity Booster Drink Recipe – Kadha
Happy New Year to you and your loved ones 🙂 Come January, we get into our ‘New Year Resolutions’ zone and most of us like every year want to become healthier and happier.
However, this year, I did not make any resolution as I just wanted to continue doing what we usually do for so many years and that is build our Immunity further and this ‘Immunity Booster Drink’ or ‘Herbal Kadha’ is our goto recipe.
It’s a mix of herbs and spices, that’s slow simmered in water for a couple of minutes, to extract all the flavors and juices. Then the kadha/decoction is cooled down completely or used when warm to touch.
If you were born in India or an Indian household, you must have had some form of this immunity kadha as every household customizes it as per needs/availability of ingredients.
The base (water) and some spices remain the same, the rest of the ingredients can be altered. If you are drinking it for the first time, start consuming it in low quantity and then you can increase it gradually.
At our house, throughout the winters, especially during the last 2yrs, we have been drinking this on a daily basis.
These are the basic ingredients and easily found in most houses. These can be either whole spices or powdered or mix of both:
The recipe is extremely easy to make and you can make a large batch and consume for 2-3 days, however, it’s recommended you make a fresh batch to drink.
The first benefit is that it’s fresh, natural, and chemical or artificial preservative-free.
It’s also much more economical and you can make a large batch with the same amount of money.
All the spices used in this kadha are good in boosting our immunity and digestion.
Since, all the spices that are used are warm in their nature, hence the kadha keeps the body warm in winters.
As mentioned above, each household has it’s own special version of kadha or immunity shots, you can mix and match these ingredients too:
Bay Leaf (tej patta)
Lemon Grass – one of my favorite ingredients for immunity tea.
Black Tea – instead of water.
Green Tea – instead of water.
Sugar or Jaggery – instead of honey.
Fennel Seeds (saunf)
Onion Seeds (kalonji)
Cumin Seeds (jeera)

I remember drinking several different kind of kadha back in India. Turmeric is such a wonderful immune booster and love the flavor of it. I have some fresh turmeric that I harvested from the garden. This is a great idea to use them.
