Mulam pazham juice

Cantaloupe Or Musk melon in English , Mulam pazham or Kirni pazham in Tamil , Kharbooja in Hindi , kannada – It comes in various colors. But tastes similar..
This is my father’s most favourite summer drinks.When I was a kid , my dad used to buy this juice and compelled to me to try once. But me a stubborn girl , never touched it. Now being a food blogger, I try & taste varieties of food and juices. Earlier I used to have only black grapes and pomegranate.. But now I started to make juice with all seasonal fruits. I wanted to try this musk melon juice for a long time. Recently when I went to my in-laws place, my MIL made this juice for us. For the first time I had that juice and I loved it. Then I felt very bad that I missed this healthy , tasty juice in my childhood days. This is one of the best coolants and thirst quencher for summer. My MIL makes thick juice/ concentrate and stores it for 2-3 days by refrigerating it. She adds ice cold water to adjust the consistency at the time of drinking. Its very easy to make and tastes great.

    This appears to be a lovely juice. But you speak of low calories and how this is good for someone who wants to lose weight – but nowhere do you mention how many calories are in a musk melon. That would be helpful. Thank you.

    USE JAGGERY /PALM SUGAR(safe for diabebetes also)…Its IRON CONTENT AND PL AVOID WHITE SUGAR WHEREEVER NEEDED..BEING SUMMER OUR INTAKE will be Mostly WATER CONTENT FOOD ITEMS. EVERYTIME 2-3 TSP OF SUGAR WILL BE VERY HARMFUL TO OUR HEALTH
