Minty - Gooseberry Drink

Minty - Gooseberry Drink

A glass of chilled fruit juice is always welcome when you get back home from work tired...Isn’t it? What if this soothing drink would also supply you with good antioxidants and all the vitamin C that you need for the day?

There are very few gooseberry lovers that I have met with...and so I guess it is not a very tasty fruit to actually munch on. Its contradicting flavours are way out of my taste choices too. But the recipe of this drink that I got from one of my friends has actually helped me choose gooseberry more. The astringency of amla is lost and it tastes really good with all the goodness of vitamin C locked in.

Ingredients

1.      Gooseberry or amla     30g

2.      Mint or Pudina            10g

3.      Rock Salt                    to taste

4.      Ice Water                    2 cups

Method

1.      Chop gooseberry into small pieces and remove the seed.

2.      In a mixer grind the chopped gooseberry and pudina adding just a little amount of water and rock salt.

3.      Transfer the mixture into a juicer along with 2 cups of water.

4.      Blend well, strain and serve.

Serves 2
