Kadha Tonic is a bold, caffeine-free herbal infusion led by ginger, tulsi and warming spice. Ginger brings heat; cinnamon and star anise add sweet spice; orange and apple round the cup, while pink peppercorn gives a lively finish.
It is inspired by South Asian kadha-style spiced herbal preparations, but this is Porter Hill’s own retail blend rather than a claim to represent every household recipe. Choose it for its flavour, not as a treatment or health promise.

Brewing guide
- Amount: 1 teaspoon per cup
- Water: Freshly boiled water (100°C)
- Time: 3 minutes
Strain and taste it plain first. Shorten the next brew if the ginger and pepper feel too forceful, or use a little more blend for extra body.
Who is it for?
Choose Kadha Tonic if you enjoy warming spice and a slight peppery edge. If you prefer a soft, delicate fruit infusion, this may be more assertive than you want. It is best without milk.
Read the Kadha Tonic guide for more on flavour, brewing and the distinction between traditional use and medical evidence.
Storage
Keep it sealed, cool and dry, away from heat, sunlight and strong aromas.
