how to make honey amla - #24537

Ava

I am trying to figure out how to make honey amla but keep getting lost in the process! Last week, I came across some dried amla at my local farmers market and thought it would be a great idea to try a new health boost since I’ve been feeling kinda sluggish lately. I remember my aunt making honey amla a while back and raving about its benefits. I thought why not give it a whirl myself? Okay, so I get the amla, but then what? Do I boil the amla first or just mix it with honey? I read somewhere that it should be left to soak for a bit, but then I wonder if it should be stored in the fridge or just left out. I tried doing some research online, but there’s just too much info, and everyone seems to have a different way. If anyone knows how to make honey amla, like what’s the best method? And can I use fresh amla or is dried better? Also, how long does it keep? I’m nervous I’ll mess it up and then end up with a jar of, I don't know, amla mush or something. Help would be amazing!

To make honey amla, it's important to keep it simple and follow some straightforward steps. Your confusion is quite common with these traditional methods floating around. Here's a method that should work well, giving you a tangy-sweet, healthful mix to boost your energy. Use fresh amla if possible, as it contains more nutrients than dried ones. If you only have dried amla, it's perfectly fine too. Rinse the fresh amla, and let them air dry. If using dried amla, just ensure they are clean and ready to use. 1. If you have fresh amla, you might want to chop them into small slices, discarding the seeds. It's not necessary to boil them. For dried amla soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes till they soften slightly, then drain the water. 2. You'll want to use a good quality honey, preferably one that’s raw or organic. Place the amla in a clean, dry jar and pour enough honey over them to completely submerge the amla pieces. The amla should soak in the honey for at least a week or two. Often, the longer it sits, the more the honey absorbs the tartness from the amla, balancing its flavor. You can taste it in between to decide when you like it best. Store the jar at room temperature in a cool place out of direct sunlight. No need to refrigerate it, the honey acts as a natural preservative. However, if it's very hot where you live, consider a cooler, shaded spot to prevent any fermentation. Your honey amla should last several months. You'll know if it's gone off if it smells off or develops mold. Dive in with a spoon when you need a pick-me-up—just a spoonful of honey and a piece of amla will do the trick! There's no one-size-fits-all method, so feel free to adjust the process to your liking. It's a great way to harness the benefits of amla—packed with vitamin C and antioxidants—while adding some sweetness to daily routine!
