Chukku Kappi (Herbal "Coffee" With Coriander & Ginger)
Chukku Kappi Chukku Kappi is a delicious and refreshing herbal beverage - in spite of the word Kappi (coffee), there is no coffee nor caffeine in the ancient recipe! I was reminded of this beverage when Keeshu found a jar at the Indian market and wanted to try it; it listed coffee as one of the ingredients - you are welcome to add ground coffee or tea leaves to this recipe if you like. I love the caffeine-less original recipe suitable for all ages, all times, and diets; so here it is :). Chukku Kappi is quite similar to Ginger Tea using fresh ginger; it is quite easy and simple to make. It is served as a home remedy for cold/cough or indigestion. I keep a jar of it in my cupboard and quickly make some as needed. Some recipes include cardamom, cumin, cloves, fennel seeds and the holy basil; add them to your "coffee" if you wish.
