Equipment

  • 1 Tea Pot
  • 1 cup
  • 1 strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 15 –20 fresh curry leaves kari patta, rinsed
  • 2 cups about 480ml / 16 fl oz water
  • Optional: a tiny squeeze of lemon nimbu, if tolerated

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the leaves — Wash fresh curry leaves well to remove any dust or residue.
  • Simmer — Add leaves to water in a small pot. Bring to a gentle simmer (not a hard boil) for 5–8 minutes, until the water turns pale green-gold and smells fragrant.
  • Strain — Strain out the leaves.
  • Sip warm — Let cool to a comfortable temperature and drink warm, 15–20 minutes before breakfast. Add a tiny squeeze of lemon only if you like and tolerate citrus.

Notes

Use fresh curry leaves, not dried- far more flavour and benefit. Don't hard-boil; a gentle simmer preserves the aromatic compounds. Make fresh each day. One gentle cup daily-large or very strong amounts on an empty stomach can cause a burning feeling or loose motions in some people. If pregnant or on blood sugar medication, check with your doctor before daily use.
