Chef's Tips
Always choose pure shilajit resin, never powder, to benefit from all the nutrients and avoid any additives. If you are a beginner, start with 50 mg of resin and gradually increase the dose according to your tolerance and how you feel.
Fresh, homemade, or organic, unsweetened apple juice is recommended to preserve the natural flavor and avoid excess refined sugar. Lemon adds a touch of acidity that activates the principles of shilajit while harmonizing the taste.
Conservation
This drink is best enjoyed chilled and immediately. If needed, you can store the mixture in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it's best to stir it before drinking to reactivate the resin.
Do not store the drink for longer as the properties of shilajit can degrade with prolonged contact with oxygen.
