Sometimes, we don’t realise but most ingredients used regularly in Indian households carry medicinal properties. Did you know adrak ka ras and honey help deal with cold or common winter ailments? Yes, it works. And, chef Pankaj Bhadouria had shared a recipe of ginger, honey and lemon drops that works well for sore throat.

To make these, you need to extract some juice from ginger first. Keep it aside while simultaneously greasing a plate with a little bit of oil. Take a separate pan and heat about half a cup of sugar and keep stirring it until it melts fully. Switch off the flame once it’s done. Now, add about 2 tablespoons of ginger juice, a similar amount of honey followed by lemon juice. Blend it all very well. Take the greased plate and pour the mixture in the form of drops at some distance from each other. After it solidifies, you get your ginger, honey and lemon drops.
