Chef's Tips
Shilajit is a potent resin: start with small doses to allow your palate and body to adjust. The quality of the apple juice greatly impacts the final taste, so opt for 100% pure juice with no added sugar.
This invigorating drink can also be enjoyed in the morning for an energizing start to the day. During a relaxing moment or with a light meal , it provides freshness and health benefits.
Conservation
It is best to consume this beverage immediately, as shilajit can lose its properties with prolonged contact with air. If necessary, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight bottle and consume within 24 hours.
Never heat shilajit resin, as this alters its properties. Always dilute it at room or lukewarm temperature.
