But before we get to the recipe, let me tell you a little story. I discovered this combination during a trip to Nepal, where shilajit has been used for centuries for its exceptional properties. One morning, while exploring a local market, I saw a vendor mixing shilajit with fresh apple juice. Intrigued, I tasted it and was immediately hooked. Since then, I've continued to perfect this recipe, and I'm delighted to share it with you today.
Ingredients
For 1 person:
- 150 ml of apple juice (preferably organic and without added sugar)
- 200 mg of Purlema shilajit resin (the equivalent of a small pea)
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (optional, to enhance the flavor)
- A few ice cubes (optional)
- An apple slice for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Preparing shilajit: If you are using shilajit resin, start by dissolving it in a small amount of hot water (about 20 ml). Stir well until it is completely dissolved.
- Mixture: In a glass, pour the apple juice. Then add the dissolved shilajit solution.
- Adjusting the taste: Add lemon juice if desired. It will help balance the flavors and add a touch of freshness.
- Cooling: Add some ice cubes if you prefer a very cold drink.
- Decoration: Decorate with an apple slice on the rim of the glass for an elegant presentation.
- Tasting: Enjoy your shilajit and apple juice tonic drink immediately!
Chef's Tips
- For a more intense flavor, you can use cloudy apple juice, which is richer in aromas.
- If you do not have shilajit resin, you can use liquid shilajit extract, following the manufacturer's instructions for dosage.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruit juices, such as pomegranate juice or grape juice, to vary the pleasures.
- For an even more revitalizing drink, you can add a pinch of freshly grated ginger or a few fresh mint leaves.
