[Fruit review] Amla, Indian Gooseberry and Grandmas Amla tea

Amla berries are basically Indian Gooseberries, the anatomy of these berries are so different to gooseberries which are like grapes.

Amla berries are hard to touch and there is a bright green stone inside which has an interesting shape.

As for the taste, it is very astringent but it is said to be good in reducing sugar.

It turns out that my grandmas was already in the game because she made some Amla tea which I drunk before without realizing.

Her version is different to the Indian version by crushing the berries and natrually drying them in the sun.

To drink, you simply add hot water to it.

Strangely, there was no bitterness and it just tasted refreshing.
