Ingredients
- 4 oz Dried Bael
- 9 cups Drinking Water
- 3 cups Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Toast the dried bael directly in a pan over moderate heat for a minute or two to release the aroma and boost flavors.
- Remove the bael from the pan.
- Bring the drinking water to the boil and then add in the toasted bael. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and remove the large pices of bael with a slotted spoon. Add in the sugar and stir to dissolve.
- It is best to allow the bael to cool before pouring through a cloth filter to remove any remaining small particles. Transfer to a large covered jug and refrigerate. The drink will keep for several days refrigerated.
- Add one part bael tea to two parts plain water served over ice. Adjust taste if preferred by adding more or less water to dilute.
