Sukku Coffee is a spicy sharp coffee made by grinding pepper, coriander seeds & ginger to a powder and simmering it with water & sugar. Sukku Coffee is a healthy & soothing coffee that could be prepared in cold & fever times and as an alternate to the regular coffee. 
Sukku Malli Coffee was first introduced to me only few months back in my first yoga class. Yes it is served in the yoga class almost daily. The first time I had it was so hot and now am used to it…It helps during sore throat and great remedy for cold. Sukku(Dry ginger) coffee is usually made with water but it you wish if you prefer you can add little milk. Now that I’ve my homemade sukku coffee powder I can have it anytime of the day.

Thanks you for sharing recipe. I need to have it in office instead of having coffee and tea. As per the procedure everything seems to fine except heating for some time. Is that mandatory to heat the suku coffee for 2-3 mins? because it is not possible in office.
SHARMILEE J
Yes yes only after boiling the raw smell will leave so it is a must…If you have microwave then you can boil it using it
