Health and taste @ Rs 20

An ayurvedic body cooling juice made of a combination of spices churned in water has become very popular in Guntur, thanks to a Hyderabad boy Bunny who invented and launched the summer drink five years ago.

An amalgamation of several spice ingredients including mint leaf, ocimum sanctum otherwise called tulsi, ginger, lemon, pepper , dry ginger, oregano and black salt forms the much sought after summer juice.

Bunny says that the juice has medicinal properties which cools the body, tackles gastric problem and facilitates digestion. Costing mere Rs20 a glass, the drink attracts not only the locals but also the tourists who come to the city.

If you wish to take it home and have it sometime later, you can do it. The juice can be preserved for two to three days in a refrigerator. The juice is preserved in earthen pots, giving it an ethinic touch and keeping it cool. The juice outlets are set up at the collector office and the NTR stadium points.
