Step 1

Rinse amla well under running water. Soak them in a bowl of salted water for 5 to 10 mins and scrub them with a soft vegetable brush to get rid of any dirt and deposits.

Step 2

Rinse well again and chop them to pieces. Add them to a grinder/blender jar with little liquid of choice (water/ coconut water/juice) & ginger, mint, tulsi if using.

Step 3

Grind to a smooth paste. Strain/filter this to a pitcher, pressing down with a spoon and pour the rest of the liquid. Stir in pepper, honey, salt or chaat masala as per your choice. Serve immediately.

Step 4

To make Shots: You will just grind only the amla and ginger (optional) without any liquid. The mixture will look slightly dry but will release all of the juices as you grind.

Step 5

Run your slow juicer and add up to 3 Indian gooseberries (deseeded) per serving to your juicer chute. You can also add ginger or any other fruit of choice like watermelon, apple or Asian pears.
