How to Drink Avarampoo

The avarampoo flower, also known as the Tanner’s cassia flower, is a bright yellow plant that grows on bushes in the dry lands of India. When it’s dried and crushed, it produces a floral, sweet flavor that makes for a soothing, calming cup of tea. Although there are claims that avarampoo has medicinal benefits, no scientific studies have confirmed this, so you shouldn’t drink avarampoo to replace any medication you’re on.

1
Cut the avarampoo flowers off the stem. If you are using whole avarampoo flowers, snip the base of the flowers off the stems with sharp scissors. You won’t need the stems anymore, so you can throw them away.^{[1]XResearch source}
- You can also purchase dried avarampoo, in which case you don’t need to deal with whole flowers.
2
Dry the flowers in the sun for 1 to 2 days. Lay the flower heads out on a baking sheet and place it in a sunny spot in your home. Wait until the flowers get dry and crispy, or about 1 to 2 days.^{[2]XResearch source}
- Dried flowers will dissolve into the hot water easier than fresh flowers will.

3
Boil 2 cups (470 mL) of water on the stove. Avarampoo tea is best made in small batches, because you can control the flavor in each cup. Put some water into a small pot and heat it on high until you see large bubbles rising to the top of the water.^{[3]XResearch source}
- Depending on your stovetop, your water should boil within about 5 minutes.
4
Add in ginger, cardamom, and avarampoo. Avarampoo on its own is a very mild flavor. To give your tea some extra spice, add in 1 peeled piece of ginger, 2 to 3 cardamom pieces, and about 1/3 cup (113 g) of dried avarampoo flowers.^{[4]XResearch source}
- You don’t need to be exact with your measurements, and you can add more or less of each ingredient based on how strong you want your tea.
- If you are using avarampoo powder, pour in 4 tbsp (56 g) of the powder.
- To make a more herb-like tea, switch out the ginger and cardamom for 5 leaves of mint and 5 leaves of basil.
5
Stir in some sugar and tea powder to make your tea sweeter. Add 2 tsp (8 g) of granulated sugar to your tea if you’d like it a little sweet, and mix in 2 tsp (8 g) of tea powder if you want to thicken up your tea slightly. You can add more or less of each ingredient depending on how you like your tea.^{[5]XResearch source}
- Tea powder is made of dried black tea leaves, and it gives your tea a little more flavor and texture.
Alternative: You can also pour in a splash of honey to use as a sweetener instead of sugar.
6
Simmer the mixture for 2 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium and let your mixture simmer, but not boil. If you start to see large bubbles rising to the top of the mixture, turn the heat down slightly.^{[6]XResearch source}
- Simmering the tea will allow the flavors to combine.
7
Pour in 50 millilitres (0.21 c) of whole milk to make the tea creamy. If you take milk with your tea, go ahead and add it into your mixture while it's hot. Stir the milk in slightly so that it doesn’t burn at the bottom of the pot.^{[7]XResearch source}
- You don’t have to add milk, but it will make your tea thicker.
8
Strain the tea into a mug to enjoy. Turn off your stove and hold a mesh strainer over your mug. Carefully pour your tea through the strainer, being careful not to splash your hands. Let your mug of tea cool down for a few minutes, then enjoy your avarampoo tea!^{[8]XResearch source}
- Avarampoo is an herbal tea, meaning it doesn’t have caffeine in it.
