Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil (for vegan option), ghee , or clarified butter
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut water (See recipe note)
  • 1 3/4 cups plain water
  • 3 cardamom pods
  • 5 whole cloves
