Awala Sarbat / Indian Gooseberry Refresher

My great-grandmother always insisted that the family all eat the fruits and vegetables of the season, regardless of whether you liked them or not! She believed that doing so would help the body attain all the necessary vitamins and minerals, naturally. Thus, we all had to have awala during the summers. Awala is a very good source of Vitamin C and ginger and lemon juice are known digestive aids.
