Ginger adds zest and flavour to dishes. It is the pungent root rhizome of the ginger plant. Ginger has great medicinal value too. It is anti-inflammatory, anti - bacterial and anti-flatulent. It provides relief to gastro-intestinal problems, like nausea, vomiting and stomach pain. It also provides relief to arthritic patients.
Ginger root is a store-house of potassium, manganese, magnesium and copper. Potassium helps to control heart rate and blood pressure. Also contains vitamins B5 and B6.
1. Remove the skin of ginger and wash it well. Then crush it well and add water. Strain the juice using a fine sieve. Keep the juice aside for 24 hours, without disturbing, so that the residue settles properly. After 24 hours, strain again using a muslin cloth. Take care not to disturb the sediments. Add 6 cups of sugar to the clear juice and boil. When cool add the lime juice. Stir well and again strain the mixture twice or thrice, so that you get a very clear solution.
Serve after diluting with water.
