Buoyed by the success of its Haldi doodh, Amul has launched two more immunity booster beverages for the first time anywhere in the world: Ginger Doodh (Ginger latte) and Tulsi Doodh (Tulsi latte), reads a press note from the dairy co-operative titan.
These drinks contain real ginger and Tulsi blended with milk. Tulsi or Holy Basil is considered sacred, and rightly so, owing to its diverse healing properties. It has anti-microbial and anti-allergic properties, so it is extremely useful for treating bacterial and fungal infections as well as immunological disorders like allergies and asthma, claims GCMMF.
Similarly, Ginger is used widely in Ayurveda. Traditional ayurvedic texts recommend ginger for therapeutic use for joint discomfort; for motion or airsickness; and for clearing the microcirculatory channels to facilitate better absorption of nutrients and better elimination of wastes.
Once these superfoods i.e Ginger and Tulsi are combined with the goodness of Amul milk, their overall health value increases manifold. So, the first of its kind ready to drink beverages loaded with ayurvedic properties is now available in the market. These drinks can be consumed regularly by any age group at any hour of the day, claims the release.
They come at a price of just Rs 25 for 125mL easy-open-end can. The packs have a shelf life of 6 months at room temperature.
