Ganga jamuna juice is a unique juice which is a mix of orange and mosambi juice. This orange mosambi juice is very popular in north India. You can easily make this ganga jamuna juice with or without juicer at home for this summer. Healthy, refreshing and tasty drink for summer!
Fresh fruit juices are often made at home especially during summer. I like to use a blender and make these juices rather than using a juicer. Also I add very less sugar and water to our juice. However you can make this juice in juicer or even extract the juice using a handheld juicer.
We like fresh juices like pineapple juice, watermelon punch, guava juice, grape juice, mango juice during summers. I make them at home to ensure hygiene. You can check a collection of juice recipes here.
Ganga Jamuna Juice- Why The Name?
This ganga jamuna juice is a very popular juice in north India. This juice is a combination of fresh orange and mosambi juice. Mosambi also known as sweet lime pairs up beautifully with orange juice.
So why do they call it Ganga Jamuna juice? May be Ganga and Jamuna (Yamuna) are two holy rivers flowing in northern parts of India and this juice is named as it uses two fruits.
I have tasted this juice few times in Bangalore. Once I came to know the method, I ave been making this at home very often.
During season we go through lots of mosambi and orange at our home. So making this juice is very easy and a delicious way to consume fruits. As I said above I do not use a juice to just extract the juice. I blend just using a blender here.
This juice is a mix of orange and mosambi juice. So you can make it in many ways. You
- Extract juice from mosambi and orange, mix well.
