Home-made Ginger Candy



I am falling in love with ginger, especially after reading  Ayurveda Bible.Great book to know your body constitution or Prakruthi,how to balance your energy , the right  food for your body type , the best way of making it and more.Ginger is universal medicine used soo widely in Ayurveda and that is the magic wand to my body type .You can check your body type here . I have heard my father saying  that eating fresh ginger before lunch and dinner to enhance digestion and better absorption of nutrients by the body tissues. So say bye bye to bloating and try this soothing  sweet n hot ginger candy.


 Home-made Ginger Candy

 Ingredients
               ½ Cup Sliced Ginger
                  1/3 Cup rock Sugar

 Directions
