    About Amla Juice

    Amla Juice is the nectar of the amla and is sour in taste. Amla Juice can be consumed as it is or with added taste & natural flavours. I have presented the Amla Juice recipe with salt. Natural Sweeteners like honey, jaggery, dates syrup neutralise the sourness of Amla and gives a subtle sweetness so that it can be enjoyed by kids as well. I suggest to go for this juice at least once a week if not daily!

    Amla Juice can also be bottled & refrigerated for even months so that we can just make in seconds by adding water & sweetener and enjoy. Amla Juice hence can help save your time in the busy mornings and a healthy replacement for tea / coffee / packed fruit drinks and other carbonated drinks.
