Why Amlaprash?
Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is one of the richest sources of vitamin C. It helps fight colds, improves digestion, and strengthens the immune system. Combined with warming Indian spices and jaggery, this recipe becomes a delicious, immunity-boosting treat for chilly mornings.

Start with fresh amla
Begin by steaming 10-13 fresh amlas until they soften slightly. This helps remove their raw bitterness while preserving all the nutrients. Once steamed, let them cool down before blending, this becomes the base of your AmlaPrash.
Toast the healing spices

In a pan, roast peppercorns, fennel seeds, cinnamon, mace, cloves, cardamom, and a bay leaf until aromatic. These traditional Indian spices not only enhance flavor but also aid digestion and improve circulation. Set the roasted mix aside to cool before blending.
