About Jaggery Tea Recipe

This warm and comforting Jaggery Tea (Gud ki Chai) is a healthier alternative to regular milk tea. Making jaggery milk tea can be a bit tricky if you don’t consider or know the factors that can curdle and spoil the tea.

The first time I tried making jaggery tea with milk at home, it curdled immediately. At that time, I was unaware that milk can curdle if jaggery is added to the hot milk directly.

After trying different recipes, I’ve finally found the right way to make jaggery milk tea properly, and now I prepare it regularly at home. I enjoy the rich flavor of jaggery not only in tea but also in various other dishes.

So, here I am sharing a simple step-by-step recipe on how to make jaggery tea at home. Try this comforting mug of hot tea!

How to make Jaggery Tea

Step 1 – Boil Water with Mint Leaves

Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Add 5-6 mint leaves to the boiling water, this is optional. Let it simmer.

While optional, mint leaves add a refreshing aroma, and improve the overall taste of the jaggery tea.

Step 2 – Infuse Tea Leaves and Chai Masala

After the water comes to a boil, add 2 teaspoons of tea leaves or tea powder. Let the mixture simmer for an extra 2 minutes.

Step 3 – Add Hot Milk

Pour 1 cup of hot milk into the tea. Bring the mixture to a boil and then immediately turn off the heat. This will prevent it from overboiling and curdling.

Step 4 – Let the Tea Rest

Let the tea rest for 2-3 minutes, letting the temperature settle.

Step 5 – Add Jaggery

Add 2 teaspoons of jaggery and 1/2 teaspoon of chai masala to the tea without stirring. Turn on the heat, let the tea come to a boil again, or simmer till the jaggery dissolves. Avoid stirring to prevent curdling.

Note – To prevent curdling, refrain from stirring after adding jaggery.

Step 6 – Serve

Once the jaggery has dissolved and the tea is cooked, serve while it’s hot.
