Bitter gourd is a common vegetable in Sri Lankan cooking, and Fadna dries and packs it as a herbal tea. As the name says, the cup is bitter, so it is not a tea people drink for the taste alone.
What is in it
- Dried bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), known locally as karavila
How to make it
Put one bag in a cup of freshly boiled water and leave it for three to five minutes. Drink it plain; a slice of lemon softens the bitterness.
In the pack
20 g: 10 tea bags.
Read the label before use, and ask a doctor or an Ayurvedic physician first if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical care.
Fadna herbal teas are made in Sri Lanka by Food and Nature (Pvt) Ltd of Pannipitiya, near Colombo.
