Receta Beetroot Squash
Back
home Amma used to make a variety of squashes with the seasonal fruits available
like Grape, Mango, Orange, Lime, Passion fruit etc. Here in Kuwait as fruit juices are
easily available, I never
bothered to make squash at home until recently as my son drinks a lot of
juice.... Now I started making it at home so that I can at least avoid giving him packet juice which contains lot of
preservatives....also he is such a picky eater who refuses to eat any veggies so the only
way to include some veggie in his diet is through juice :D...he loves to drink this juice as his
mouth and lips become red after drinking this :D.. This juice tastes like Grape
juice and is healthy too.....
Lime juice from 6 limes
Grate beetroot and boil in
6 cups of water and keep this aside.
- Boil sugar and 4 cups of water
- till the sugar melts. Keep this also aside. Keep these two to cool
very well.
Strain beetroot and sugar
water. Mix these two together and add tonovin essence, citric acid and strained
lime juice.
Pour squash into sterilized
bottles and store refrigerated, This squash can be stored refrigerated up to 6
months.
To serve,
fill 1/3 of serving glass with the beetroot squash and remaining by water. Mix
up well and serve chill topped with ice cubes.
