Calamansi Juice /Naran juice
Calamansi is a type of small lime similar to ‘Naran’ in Sri Lanka.This vitamin C rich fruit has lot of health benefits.
Here in Singapore,I usually use this Calamansi in most of my cooking instead of lime. I love its taste and also the size. If I buy lime, most of the time, a part of it is thrown after few days as I don’t use lime every day. But this Calamansi (Limau Kasturi/Naran) is small and no more wastage of remaining wedges. Also the taste of it is between orange and a lime, not much sour.For recipes such as katta sambola or even for gotukola sambola,I use these calamansi fruits instead of lime although the taste is bit different.
Calamansi / Naran
This Calamansi Juice is a simple juice which can be prepared in few minutes and a good treat for the summer.

Hi Amila, that’s one of the best refreshing drink and load with vitamin c. I like to add calamansi in my barley drink too. Nice click.
Have a nice day.
thanks Amilia,I tried this on Barley drink,that was so good…
Have a great day!
I use calamansi for my cooking too, mostly for the Asian savory dishes. Its also a good substitute for the lime and at times for lemons too.
This drink is much loved and what a lovely thirst quencher.
thanks Navaneetham for your lovely comment….
I think it is called as Narthangai in the southern side of India(Not sure though)!
