With the onset of monsoon rain ,the chennai residents can see the local vendors selling this coffee in the streets after 9 Pm.
In my hometown we drink it all through the day with or without caffeine and never say no to it.Any one who has gulped it will always remember the sharp taste and the health benefits. We make it with 'panai vellam' / karuppatti / palm jaggery , which makes the coffee more flavorful. Anyway we can use white sugar too.
Sukku coffee powder:
coriander seed - 100 gm
dry ginger - 100 gm
(I use powdered dry ginger)
black pepper - 20
Dry roast and grind them together. This is called sukku coffee powder.
For daytime or evening:
Heat 2 cups of water along with 2 tsp sukku coffee powder, 1 tsp coffee powder, sugar (3 tsp). Switch off after it starts boiling. Leave till it settles.
Filter the clear liquid leaving the sediments.
If desired add 2 tbsp milk per cup.
For bedtime:
Heat 2 cups of water along with 2 tsp sukku coffee powder, sugar (3 tsp). Switch off after it starts boiling. Leave till it settles.
Filter the clear liquid leaving the sediments.
If desired add 2 tbsp milk per cup.
Makes 2 cups of coffee. Serve as hot beverage.
It is believed to relieve the body aches and stomach troubles.

Healthy and delicious coffee...
My father in law loves this coffee....

Love this coffee. I used to have it after a heavy lunch/dinner.
I remember my Mom making this at home whenever she had a sore throat. Since we were kids, she wouldn't give this for us when we had cold. In fact, I even have some of that podi at home and am going to try this sukku coffee today :-)
oh same ingredients..but storing it is an awesome idea...loved it :)))
Just love it..feel like preparing rite now..
Such a comforting,refreshing coffee
Wow.. never tried it with coriander seeds this is definitely new. We always have it black never with milk either. Thanks for sharing.
coriander addition is very new to me. Must have been aromatic.

Viki, can you give me the recipe of ginger tea using sokku. Thank You.
Viki, can I have the recipe for sukku tea. Thank You.
Viki, can you give me thr recipe foe sukku tea. Thank You.
Regarding sukku tea: I make frsh ginger tea often. For 2 cups of tea:
Add 1 cup of water with 1 cup milk. Put 2 tsp tea powder, crushed ginger 1 inch, elakkai (cardamom)- pinch, sugar 3 tsp or little more, mint leaf - few (optional). (Milk : water ratio = 1:1 or more milk). Take them all in a small vessel and bring to a boil. (we can boil it in microwave too). stir well. Switch off. Filter and serve.
Ginger tea is ready.
If you want you can add 1/4 tsp sukku powder (dry ginger powder) per cup of tea, instead of fresh ginger. You can add it just like I told for ginger.
Personally I prefer using fresh ginger. As fresh ginger tea in early morning helps to reduce some cholesterol, bp and eventually to weight loss, good digestion and clean skin look. In evening we can use dry ginger (as it has some heat properties, which our body won't need much in daytime). I am not an expert in Indian medicines, but know these tips through elders.
Please let me know if u like the tea taste.
Thanks,
Viki.
Sukku / dry ginger powder has the property to thicken the tea. Nothing wrong with that, so prepare and drink immediately. We can add milk, water (1cup+ 1 cup), 1/2 tsp sukku, crushed coriander seed, sugar, elakkai little......bring to a boil and filter and serve for a different flavor.
