Notes
- Some articles claim that adding moringa powder to hot water destroys the nutrients. To be on the safe side I don't add it to anything that is really hot.
- Add fresh herbs of your choice like basil, tulsi, etc.
- Use a sweetener of your choice like sugar, jaggery, stevia, etc.
- I strain the liquid for hubby but mine I don't as I love mint.
- Process it well if you are not going to strain the liquid.
