RE: Mixing It Up - Interactions or Synergies: Herbal Hive Comment Challenge

in The Herbal Hive2 years ago

Due to the natural bitter taste of the leaves it is hard for any other herbs used in mixing it to change the taste.
Like most common herbs used with it only changes the scent of the juice ,just like lemon grass and scent leaves,
The best way to reduce its bitter taste is after getting the juice from the leaves ,you mixing with honey in a glass cup and refrigerate it.
Once its past 24hours the bitter taste reduces but it's health benefits stays the same

I actually agree with you @urchice about bitter leaf's medicinal benefits. I personally used to squeeze the leave with a little water, add lemon orange juice and drink it early in the morning. This soothes my bowl and helps me to maintain a good body weight.

Last weekend, I made a soup with it. But one must wash out thoroughly the bitterness before using it. You can add bushmango and melon to the soup.
