This juice is a refreshing drink and has a lot of nutritional benefits.
It helps regulate blood sugar, helps lower bad cholesterol levels, raises immune function and also there is an ongoing study that links it into helping cure dengue symptoms by raising platelet count.
Addition to that its also an antioxidant concoction
So here's how to make your power boosting , refreshing healthy juice.
Ingridients
Violet or red camote tops
Lemongrass fresh
Calamansi or lemon
Honey
Preparation:
1.Clean the leaves of sweet potato tops in a mixture of water thoroughly
Boil the sweet potato tops for at least five minutes. Let it cool.
Separate the leaves from the juice. (You can use the sweet potato tops as salad or appetizer)
Squeeze in lemon or calamansi juice. The number of calamansi is up to you.
*Fun part when you put citrus on the juice it will turn pink or pale red.Add honey to taste.
Refrigerate or add ice if you to drink it immediately.

Come to think of it, if we heed to the supposedly insult/jest, “Go home and plant camote,” it will even do us good after all.

I've never heard of sweet potato leaves used in this way. It certainly gives the drink a lovely colour.
