CASHEW FRUIT JUICE

Cashew fruit juice is made out of the cashew apple or cashew fruit it is known as it  is a delicious drink.  But let me tell you one thing that it may not be liked by all as it has got an astringent taste in it and you have to develop the taste for it.

The preparation is very simple and the same has to be served very chilled.  In order to remove the astringent taste, either you can steam boil or boil it with bit salt in the water.  It contains vitamin C.  The fleshy fruit is eaten as it is,  again you should develop the taste else you will feel bit itching in the throat and some are allergic to it.

Since the same may not be consumed by my family members, I made the juice only with one fruit which I could serve for two.

Ingredients:

1 no	Cashew fruit/apple
¼ cup	Sugar
¼ tsp	Chaat masala
½ tsp	Salt
2 cups	Chilled water
	Pudina leaves for garnishing

Method:

Wash and cook the fruit in one cup of water with little salt for 5 minutes to remove the astringent taste of it.

Cool it and grind to a smooth paste with the sugar and few pudina leaves.  Strain it and add two cups of chilled water, chaat masala and pour it in glass.  Garnish with pudina leaves.

How to serve:

Serve chilled.
