A very small sip of diluted karela
Karela is bitter on purpose. In food it is a sabzi. As a drink, this page keeps it to a taste, not a glass: a small piece, lots of water, a few drops of lemon, and only a sip. The bitterness is the limit. When it feels like too much, you stop.
This is not a weight-loss promise, and it is not a blood-sugar treatment. Do not drink it in pregnancy. People who already take medicine should not change that medicine because of a bitter sip. A sore stomach is a reason to skip it.
