Already I have shared few recipes with IceApple / Nungu, you could check out those recipes by clicking their names – Nungu Crumble, Nungu Payasam/Kheer and this is another delicious, yummilicious and mouth licking drink. My son never eats this Nungu/Ice apple, but he had this drink happily. A good source of coolant for summer. So I would say this as “Kids-Friendly” recipe. Let us move on to the recipe…

Oranges are one of the most familiar summer fruit and I prepare orange juice very now and then not only on summer, even in winters but with Luke warm water. Orange comes with too much of nutrition, mainly they are good in folic acid and folic acid is most important for women’s health.

Glucose plays an important role in summer. Usually glucose taste good, when combined with orange juice instead of sugar… too healthy, an apt and tasty drink for summer. Kids love this lot.

Moreover, this juice is very good for pregnant women, which helps to get rid of diabetics during pregnancy and a good source of medicine during diarrhoea. Let us move on to the recipe…
