adding cumin seeds in a sauce pan with water

Put the flame on sim and allow the cumin seeds flavour to absorb into the water for about 5 minutes.

Strain the drink. If the drink is too hot allow it to attain a lukewarm state or warm enough to consume the drink.

straining the jeera water into the glass

Add 1 tsp, honey. It is better to add additional flavour and to cut down the cumin flavour and also honey aids in losing weight only if it is natural and organic which is 100% pure. If honey is not pure then it is better to skip the ingredient as it would not benefit at all.

Faq's

Does cumin cause constipation?

It does not cause any constipation and in fact, cumin seeds are good for digestion and I highly suggest using this spice in Indian cooking mainly in every curry dish as it is good for health.

Can we eat seeds directly rather than consuming drink?

Yes, the seeds are a good remedy to treat many body-related issues which promotes good digestion, nausea related issues. It is also a great remedy for bloating issues too.
Just take some seeds and have them directly which is beneficial for the human body in a good way.

What is the best time to drink cumin water?

Just consume it empty stomach and make it in several other ways apart from the method mentioned here.
Just soak some seeds in a glass of water overnight and consume the drink on an empty stomach. Following this can not only help in good bowel movement but also with digestive issues as well.

Side effects of cumin?

Do not use it in excess as this can lead to heartburn and also do not follow these drinks with health issues or during pregnancies.

Can we use cold water to make it?

Yes, but the result can be good only if the cumin seeds infuse well in the water and this is possible by soaking the seeds overnight in water . For best results, use warm water.
