Storage Suggestions

This Juice is best when consumed fresh as soon as it is prepared. But you can store the leftovers in the refrigerator for a day in a tightly closed mason jar. The juice won’t be fresh and palatable after a day and all the nutrients will be oxidized if stored for long.

Serving Suggestions

You can serve this juice along with your morning breakfast but to gain all the benefits consume it on an empty stomach. This Juice can also be enjoyed as a refreshment to satisfy your thirst on sunny days.
