Ginger is an ingredient that has been used in traditional medicines since ages and is extensively used in Indian cooking everyday.
Lemon is another good source of Vitamin C and relieves oral dehydration. It is the most widely used citrus fruit all over the world.
Honey also has antiseptic and antibacterial properties and it is a healthy natural sweetener.
All these ingredients are mostly used and always available in our kitchens. A detox drink made with them is good for general health and cleansing the system specially when taken on empty stomach in the morning.
Ingredients:
Amlas / gooseberries .... 2 big or 3 small
Ginger (chopped)........... 1 tbsp
Lemon juice .................. 1 tbsp
Honey .......................... 2 or 3 tbsps
Salt ........................... 1/8 tsp
Roasted and ground cumin seeds .. 1/4 tsp
Water .............................. 2 cups
Method:
1. Wash the amlas well and cut into pieces.
2. Peel the ginger and cut into pieces.
3. Grind them in a mixer adding the water.
4. Strain the juice and mix honey, salt and roasted cumin powder.
Yield : 1 serving
Note: Serve immediately for best results as the Vitamin C is destroyed very fast on exposure to air and water.
The drink looks amazing and I love the glass. I take ginger, honey and lemon juice drink but not tried with ambla. I like the taste of ambla so I am sure this one will also taste great. Plus it's healthy.
ReplyDeleteYes Mina.. amlas are loaded with nutrition.

That's one hearty dose of Vitamin C, a good detox recipe with interesting ingredients.Would have not thought of using amla for a detox juice.
