Forgotten Sweetener

Hi ILites,
Iron is important in everystage - childhood,Teen,Motherhood,Post-pregnancy,Old age.we find it difficult to include iron-rich foods- esply for toddlers.Jaggery is a good source of iron.Lots of dishes can be prepared with it.I would like to give a recipe which has this as main ingredient.

Jaggery(black) coffee

This is similiar to the decotion coffee.Except that instead of sugar we add jaggery water.I'll just explain to make the sweet water

Select jaggery which is hard and black in colour.Not the soft brown one.Break it into pieces.Boil 1 cup of water ,add 1 big piece of jaggery,let dissove then add coffee powder(not instant) according to taste.Stir and let cool.Strain it.

Take half glass of the sweet water,add milk and drink.
Note: Dont add hot milk and hot sweet water

Please contribute recipes with jaggery.

 

Thats great Sriniketan.This coffee is consumed in my in-laws side.It used to be a traditional drink in sourastrian community which is slowly forgotten cause its preparationis time consuming.BTW the sweet water came be refrigerated for 1 day.
