Ingredients

1 (48 oz) can pineapple juice

2/3 c. of orange juice

2 tbsp. butter or ghee

2 tsp. brown sugar and 4 cinnamon sticks.

Ghee is Indian clarified butter. You can buy ghee online, as well as in most Indian specialty stores and many organic/health food type stores and markets. It is ideal for cooking because it does not burn unless heated to excess and can be kept indefinitely without refrigeration as long as it is covered and stored in a cool, dry location. In Aryurveda, ghee is believed to be a healing food, promotive of memory and intelligence and also the base for herbal ointments to treat burns, skin rashes. Ghee is considered good for all doshas (body types) however, Kapha types are warned not to overdo it.
