The benefits are innumerable and that's why I'm bringing you this traditional recipe for cough relief. Try it at home and make sure to post it on Instagram with #5starkitchen. Happy Health!
INGREDIENTS:
- Fresh Pineapple- 2 cups
- Honey- 2-3 tbsp (depending on the sweetness of pineapple)
- Black pepper powder- 1 tsp
- Salt- 1/4 tsp
- Water- 1/2 cup
PROCEDURE:
- Peel and chop the pineapple into small-sized pieces.
- Take a blender jar, add the rest of the ingredients to it.
- Blend it to a fine puree, check for the sweetness, add more if required. The pineapple I used was more on the sour side, so I added approx. 4 tbsp honey to it. If you have a sweeter pineapple, you can add less honey.
- Pass this through a fine mesh sieve. Strain it to get a chunk-free juice.
- Your fresh pineapple juice without sugar for cough is ready. Consume right away.
- Don't store fruit juices in the refrigerator, as they lose their nutrients. Fresh fruit juices should be consumed right after preparations. The best way is to consume it in the day time and the juice should be at room temperature
