GINGER JUICE

Recently after having a sumptuous meal in an Indian wedding, my stomach felt very heavy and I was thinking of going to a doctor when I was reminded of my mother who used to give a glass of ginger juice for easing the pain/heaviness. This laid the foundation for posting this simple receipe which has been passed on generation after generation by our ancestors and has lot of medicinal value.

Ingredients

Fresh Ginger-50 gms(skin removed, washed and cut into medium sized pieces)
Jaggery: 3/4th cup(or less broken into piece)
Juice of one medium sized lemon
Water: around 2-3 cups
a pinch salt- optional

Method

1.grind ginger to a smooth paste adding water as required.
2. Strain the juice in a bowl.
3. Add more water(from the measured 3 cups) to the pulp that remains in the strainer and strain again.
4. Do the same a couple of times ,till the juice is completely removed from the pulp.
5. Add the rest of water.
6. Add jaggery. After few minutes once the jaggery is dissolved completely, add lemon juice and a pinch salt.
7. mix well and serve
