Ginger Lemonade
Lemonade is one of the most commonly consumed beverages all around the world. Lime has enormous health benefits, which makes lemonade a very healthy drink. Two glasses of lemonade a day can help you lose weight. Lime juice is an effective skin tonic, if consumed orally or when applied externally. Lime juice literally cleans our body, by flushing out the impurities. It is very refreshing; its fragrance itself does the magic. Now, I would like to upgrade this awesome drink by adding ginger root. This wonderful herb is famous for its medicinal values and health benefits in eastern parts of the globe. It is a great digestive aid; helps normalize high blood pressure, a well known remedy for nausea and morning sickness. And that’s not all; ginger root extract also helps reduce LDL cholesterol.
Method: Warm water – 1 glass full, Lime juice- of 1 full lime, Ginger root extract – ½ tsp, salt or sugar (or both ) to taste.
Mix all the above.
