Ingredients
For 2 glasses:
- 500 ml of fresh apple juice, ideally cold-pressed
- 100 mg of pure shilajit resin (approximately a small teaspoonful)
- 1 teaspoon of organic honey or maple syrup (optional, to sweeten)
- 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- A few ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the apple juice: Pour the fresh apple juice into a carafe or clean container.
- Incorporate the shilajit resin: Using a small spoon, place the shilajit resin directly into the apple juice. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute to dissolve the resin. This step is essential to fully benefit from its properties.
- Add the lemon juice and honey: Pour in the lemon juice, then the honey or maple syrup if you want a slightly sweeter drink. Mix well to combine.
- Serve chilled: Add a few ice cubes to taste, then pour the drink into two glasses. You can also garnish with a thin slice of apple for a nice visual touch.
- Enjoy immediately to benefit from all the nutritional qualities and freshness of the beverage.
Chef's Tips
For better dissolution of shilajit, gently heat the apple juice (no more than 40°C), then let it cool before adding the resin; this facilitates its integration without altering its properties.
If you are new to shilajit, start with a lower dose and adjust it according to your tolerance and preferences.
Conservation
This tonic drink is best consumed chilled and within 24 hours to retain maximum vitamins and the benefits of shilajit. Avoid leaving it in the refrigerator for too long, as the resin may settle and alter the texture.
To prepare in advance, keep the apple juice and shilajit separate, then mix just before consumption.
