Amla Mocktail | Sugarfree Healthy Vit C drink for Winters

While most of the time in winters is spent on deep fried and comfort food, what the body needs most is a jump in Vitamin C to combat chills / fevers and boost immunity. Thankfully where I live, there is quite a good supply of Amla / Indian gooseberry and we keep making Amla Chutney (Nelli Pachadi)quite often in my house. As the winter is almost upon us, I made this Sugarfree Amla Mocktail and we all enjoyed it a lot. This can be had on a daily basis and as Amla is considered a superfood, it is said that having an amla everyday increases the healthy life span manifold. Read hereif you want to know more why vitamin C is essential for you and your family, especially children. I added jaggery to this for my daughter, but you may have it sugarfree too. Check out other sugarfree mocktails here & here. This goes to Blogging Marathon Day 5 under Winter Foods & also Radhika’s Winter Carnival . Check my fellow Marathoners here
