Splash of Sunshine

 

Some shades, a few hues always manage to bring a smile to our face. Yellow, for me, is one such color – the deeper, the better. And, that is why I probably love this concoction more than the others.

KENO JUICE

INGREDIENTS

6 pcs ripe keno’s (mandarin oranges)

2-4 stalks of mint (fresh leaves)

¼ th tsp pepper powder

1/4th tsp black rock salt (powdered)

2 tsp sugar (or as per taste depending on sweetness of the fruit)

 

METHOD

  1. Oranges or sweet limes can be substituted for this fresh juice recipe but I find the taste of keni’s to be more robust. They have the right ratio of sweet to tart.
  2. Squeeze the juice out of the keno’s and strain it. Alternatively, you can also use a mixer to churn the pulp but be sure to remove the pips. The pips are what impart a bitter flavour to the juice. I use a mixer as juice at my place is consumed fresh and instantly. However, if you intend to store this in the fridge for a few hours then it will assuredly go bitter of the pips are churned in the mixer along with the pulp.
  3. Add the sugar, salt and pepper and mix well
  4. Lastly chop the mint leaves really fine and add them.

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
