INJI SORASAM  (GINGER LEMON DRINK)

Hope everyone had a Grand Diwali....
 
இஞ்சி சாறு ரசம்
My Mom used to make this frequently.
This is a hot ginger drink nicely flavored with lemon juice. 

Comfort drink that helps digestion. 
After an eating binge during Diwali (rich food, sweets, snacks etc) some may feel heaviness. 
To subside the heaviness take this drink. (விருந்துக்கு பின் மருந்து)
