Home made pandan juice

 

 

 

 

Wash clean the pandan leaves and use scissors to cut into small pieces ( as small as you can as you do not want to damage your blade ). I used about 100g of pandan leaves here. Discard the pointy tip and the whitish portion. The pointy tip will cause itchiness and the white portion is bitter.

 

Put the leaves into a blender and add 1 cup of water depending on the type of blender you are using .

 

 

Blend Blend Blend

 

Pour everything onto a sieve

 

 

Time for fun! Squeeze with all your might. A good distress workout.

 

Squeeze

 

Squeeeezzzzeeeee

 

 

Finally the finished product !

 

 

 

If you want more "less concentrated" juice, you can repeat the blending and squeezing process again !

 

See the separation ??

 

Important note :

 To get really Concentrated juice, leave your jar in the fridge overnight, you will see a separation of the juice. The super dark green called chlorophyll will be at the bottom and the top will be super light green. I usually used the super concentrated juice for chiffon cake. Very fragrant and lovely green color. If not, you can use for making cake or dessert! Have fun cutting, blending and squeezing!!!

 

Home made honey lemon slices

We all have heard that drinking a glass of warm water with honey and lemon early in the morning is good for health. Some also believe that it might help in weight loss as well. If you are one of those people who are skeptical of most things, here are 10 reasons why drinking warm water with lemon and honey is great for your health.

Helps improve digestion: Lemon, honey and warm water combined help give your digestion an instant boost. Apart from the fact that the components of lemon stimulate your liver to produce more bile, lemon also helps your digestive system by adding to the already present acid and assists it in flushing out unwanted toxins. Honey acts as an antibacterial and beats any infections that might be present in your body. It also helps in the production of intestinal mucus which aids in the flushing out of toxins from the body.
 
Cleanses the stomach improving the functioning of the colon:  In Ayurveda it is believed that we tend to have a buildup of toxins or ‘ama’ in our stomach. This product of undigested food, intestinal cells and dead bacteria often coats the inner lining of our stomach and is thought to lead to diseases. By drinking Lemon and honey in warm water the walls of the intestine – especially the colon – get stimulated; leading to the expulsion of this ama. If understanding Ayurveda is not your thing, allopathy describes it as a cleansing of the colon, which allows it to function much better. Thereby, helping your body absorb nutrients, get rid of toxins and stay hydrated. The build of toxins often lead the feeling of bloating.

Beats constipation : This mixture is a great and almost instant remedy for constipation. It helps stimulate the bowels helping you pass motion. It also aids in the  production of intestinal  mucus, hydrates the colon and infuses water into dried stool. All this put together helps you pass motion easily.
