Tea, particularly when consumed on an empty stomach, can sometimes cause acidity. Nagar pointed out that ghee counters the acidic properties of milk, reducing the risk of inflammation and indigestion.

“Ghee also helps improve gut health, and when combined with turmeric, it helps fight free radical damage,” she said.

For those prone to acidity, Nagar recommended mixing ghee with lukewarm water as an excellent alternative. “It has natural laxative properties that promote bowel movements and is godsent for those with irritable bowel syndrome. Milk and ghee as a combination fights constipation,” said Nagar.

Other than lowering uric acid levels, the combination of ghee and milk also help in flushing out stubborn fat. Therefore, drinking ghee with tea is full of health benefits.

However, Nagar warned people who are overweight and obese to be careful of consuming ghee as it may increase their cholesterol levels. Those suffering from fatty liver should also be careful.
