Aavale juice (Gooseberry drink)


Since this is the season when you get plenty of gooseberries, I tried this gooseberry drink recipe given to me by my friend Mala. I am sharing this recipe with you since it is a health drink and also tastes very good.

Ingredients:

1 kg gooseberries (Aamlah)
100 gm of ginger
3 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of water
4-5 lemon

Method:

Wash and wipe the gooseberries dry. Grate them along with the ginger. Extract the juice of gooseberry and ginger by putting them in the mixie. Now sieve the juice. In a saucepan boil the gooseberry and ginger juice for 10 minutes until the raw smell of the berries go. Make sugar syrup with 3 cups of sugar and 1/2 cup of water by boiling it. Once the sugar syrup is thick of one-thread consistency, add the gooseberry and ginger juice and bring it to a boil. When it is cool, add the juice of 4-5 lemons and bottle it in an airtight bottle. While serving add water to dilute the juice and add honey and serve.
