Intake of amla improves memory too. Amla is eaten raw or cooked into various dishes. I got this recipe from a TV show and tried it and wanted to share this healthy recipe with you…
Amla juice-1 ½ cup
*sugar-1cup
water -1/2 cup

Preparation:
- Wash and deseed the amlas and grind them with very little water and extract the juice from them.
- In a wide skillet, add the sugar and water and cook till one string consistency (If you take the syrup between the thumb and theindex finger, you should be able to make a string).
- Add the amla juice and cook on a medium heat till the juice is incorporated into the syrup and a thick consistency is obtained (approximately 7- 10min. with constant stirring).
- Add thecardomom powder, honey, stir and cook for 3 min.
