Ginger has a lot of medicinal properties. I usually prepare this chaaru when suffering from severe cold. The addition of honey compensates the hot taste of ginger. While drinking this, you will get pricking sensations in your mouth. It is very fierce. But after a while you will feel very much better.
When my daughter suffers from cold, it is very hard to make her drink this. So I still make her drink from sangu ( a small shell like cup used to give medicines for kids)
I use 50gm of ginger to get 1cup of juice. Wash the ginger thrice to get rid of mud.
Grind it with 1/4cup of water and then add 3/4cup water and mix well
Strain the liquid and discard pulp
Keep the juice aside for 30 minutes and transfer the clear juice to another bowl.
There would be a whitish sediment which you have to discard.
Add honey and serve
