There are so many branded healthy drinks available in the market, specified for different ages and for different needs. However, preparing health drinks right from home ingredients can be the best option to consider. The primary reason is that when made at home, it is very hygienic and safe for everyone. Moreover, unlike the packaged drink mix, where you need to peep into the cartons for the ingredients list, but still you are always left skeptical about the exact things put into the mix. When it comes to homemade mix, you know exactly what is put in, how it is made, and what are the benefits of it.

To grind:

Roasted gram / பொட்டு கடலை- 1/4kg
