Everyone wants to consume products that improve their bodily functions, but sometimes a healthy dish or drink can mean ingredients that are hard to find or long hours of prep that are hard to fit into a busy schedule. That’s where jeera water comes into the picture.
Jeera water is a simple health drink made by boiling cumin seeds in water. It takes less than 5 minutes, uses the ultimate kitchen staple (cumin seeds), and provides multiple benefits. Numerous reports suggest that jeera water aids digestion, boosts immunity, and enables weight management. Additionally, it has a mild taste, making it easy to consume. Jeera water is best consumed in the morning, on an empty stomach, or 30 minutes before a meal. There are two methods for preparing jeera water, both described in this recipe.
Lightly crush the cumin seeds. This releases more flavour and oils. However, you can also skip this step and add the seeds as is.
