Raja's Cup Specialties
Make yourself comfortable and enjoy Raja’s Cup, the delicious and gentle-on-the-stomach Ayurvedic alternative to coffee.
Raja’s Cup – Basic Recipe
Pour boiling water over a small amount (around ¼ to ½ teaspoon per cup) of Raja’s Cup powder – with or without a coffee filter, as you prefer – and leave to steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Alternatively, bring the powder to the boil in a mixture of water and milk for 1 to 2 minutes, then strain. Sweeten to taste. Can also be prepared in some espresso machines.
Raja’s Cup Shake
Bring a quarter of a litre of water, half a litre of milk and half a teaspoon of Raja’s Cup to the boil. Leave the mixture to cool, pour it through a sieve and sweeten well with sharkara or raw cane sugar. Now blend using a hand blender, shaker or whisk, and pour the shake into tall glasses. A small dollop of cream and a pinch of cardamom or a mint leaf make a lovely garnish.
Raja’s Cup – Cappuccino
Topped with a layer of warm, frothed milk and a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa for a splash of colour, Raja’s Cup becomes an Ayurvedic cappuccino. A small Raja’s Cup biscuit (here’s the recipe) on the side makes the whole thing perfect.
Raja’s Cup – Almond Dream
Prepare Raja’s Cup according to the basic recipe, sweeten each cup with a teaspoon of almond drink powder, and finish it off to taste with a dash of milk or cream.
