Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered Jaggey
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions

- Lower the flame and simmer until a thick syrup with one-thread consistency is reached.
- Remove from heat.
- Strain the syrup through a strainer to remove any impurities. Let it cool.
- Transfer to a glass jar. Close with the lid.
- Store in the refrigerator and use accordingly.
- The simple jaggery syrup will keep good in the refrigerator for upto 4 months.
Notes
You can use jaggery blocks instead of powder. The cooking time and water may vary while using the blocks.
Whether you use blocks or powder, make sure the syrup reaches the one thread consistency and is thick to pour.
If you over cook the syrup, it will again reach a solid state when cooled. If so, add a little water and just bring it to a boil. Then repeat the remaining steps as stated above.
