What can I say? It’s refreshing, cooling and deliciously cleansing. It’s like drinking cool silk; the cooling effects on the body feel immediate.
This is a wonderful drink that I have been having three times a week to reduce the heat and pitta imbalance in my body.
tips
- I recommend using fresh cardamom pods rather than powder to benefit from the aromatic and medicinal qualities.
- If you have time and a juicer, make your own apple juice to enjoy the freshness and nutritional value of the apples.
full mOOn twilight
moong dal juice
serves 4 medium glasses
ingredients
¼ cup whole moong dal (mung beans)
3 pods cardamom (¼ tsp)
1 apple, cored and quartered
1 cup freshly pressed apple juice (approximately two apples) or unsweetened organic fresh apple juice
1 cup filtered water
pre-soak
- Place the dal in a bowl and rinse with water. Cover with 3 cups of water and soak for 10 -12 hours. Rinse, drain, and set aside.
preparation
- Remove the outer pods from the cardamom, place the seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind until you have a fine powder. Set aside.
- Place the dal, cardamom, apple pieces, apple juice, and water in a high-speed blender and blend on high speed for 1 minute or until completely smooth. The juice will be frothy. I like to enjoy it as is, or it can be strained for a smoother consistency.
