Gooseberry, a light greenish yellow fruit is very nutritious. Basically, it has a sour, bitter and astringent taste with a sweet aftertaste.
At first, I tried making this juice using only gooseberries and honey. Although honey goes well with this fruit, I found the taste not too great. So the next time I made the juice, I added ginger and fresh mint along with honey and lemon juice and the result was this delicious amla juice. I feel that it tastes great when chilled, especially for hot summers. But for monsoon or winter seasons, I think it is better to be served at room temperature.
