Kasai (Herbal Tea)
Kasai or kadha is a herbal tea prepared from herbs and spices. It is beneficial whenever we get sore throat and cough. It is just a home remedy that we follow. There is no fixed formula for it, each one may have own formula. It can include lemongrass, paripathak, tulsi, ginger, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, black raisins etc. Whenever I have sore throat, I take 2 cups a day and just feel fine with it. The one which I make can be taken by adults and kids, but NOT ADVISABLE FOR INFANTS.
