Mahatma Gandhi had written in his biography regarding taking this tea daily. It has been written that wheat of best quality be roasted till it turns red, ground finely and put in boiling water just like coffee. Sugar be added, brewed and taken. Wheat-tea is prepared in a manner that around 60 grams of wheat is boiled in one and half cup of water. When one third of water left in the pan, salt may be added as per taste and taken. Taking it continuously for some days cures cough and flu besides strengthening nerves.
