It is an effective remedy for her gastric problem and instead of feeling lethargic all time, she’s feeling energetic.I’m starting on my enzyme drinks regime right now (two table spoon per day) and I want to achieve a better digestive system and go to the loo more often. *shy*However, there’s not much of information on these home made enzyme in English.

    Day 20 – Voila! Ready to drink?

    1. Clean and dry all fruits, utensils and containers to inhibit mould growth at the latter stage.
    2. Arrange layers of cut fruits, sliced lemons and brown sugar starting from the bottom of the container.
    3. Repeat till the content is around 50% full as the fermentation process later will release gases and the juices may overflow if the content is too full.
    4. Brown sugar being the top layer.
    5. Close the container tightly and leave it in a dry and cool place.
    6. Remember to shake the container lightly everyday to ensure that the fruits and top part of the bottle are immersed in liquid to prevent mold growth. If required, add more brown sugar to create a more concentrated extract with high sugar content.
    7. If mould is seen, remove the affected fruits and add more brown sugar. If else failed, everything has to be disposed.
    8. The enzyme should be ready to be consumed in 2-3 weeks.
    9. Sieve the fruits and pour the juices into a new glass bottle.
    10. Keep the enzyme drink in refrigerator because cool temperature will slow down the fermentation process that will turn the enzyme into alcohol.
    11. The leftover fruits can be used as body exfoliater and fertilizer for the soil.

    Dragon fruits were used for the first batch, with pineapples, oranges and grapes in the process of fermentation before the grand harvesting. It does tastes very good, with a slight tinge of alcohol. I have to remind myself, only two tablespoon per day, two tablespoon…*hish*
