Instructions

  • Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the palm jaggery, stirring until fully dissolved. Allow it to boil for 3 minutes, ensuring the jaggery integrates well with the water.
  • Reduce the heat and add your choice of instant coffee powder or coffee decoction to the jaggery solution. Stir well to ensure it's fully mixed.
  • Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes. This step is crucial for the coffee flavors to meld with the sweetness of the jaggery.
  • Strain the coffee to remove any residue and serve hot. Enjoy Karupatti Coffee.

Notes

  1. The sweetness of the coffee can be adjusted by varying the amount of palm jaggery according to your preference. The recommended ratio is about 1-2 tablespoons for a cup of water, but feel free to modify.
  1. Consider adding a small piece of ginger (about 1/4 teaspoon, chopped) while boiling the water for a subtle spicy undertone.
  1. While traditionally made without milk, you can add milk to your Karupatti Coffee if preferred. The traditional recipe calls for just water and jaggery to highlight the distinct flavor of the palm jaggery.
