Pukka Herbs Aqua, Turmeric Active, Organic Concentrated Herbal Infusion, Add to Cold Water, 30 ml

When made, this drink is the colour of a regular orange squash- maybe a little murkier but still essentially the same orange. But if one of our kids were to pick this up and gulp it, they would be in for a big shock. The turmeric and ginger taste has a real bite to it, both immediately and in the aftertaste.For fans of ginger tea and dishes with plenty of spice, it’s a kind of missing link- finally you’re able to bring curry flavours into your refreshing Summer drinks too! For the rest of us it’s a slightly odd pair-up of curry and squash.Prepping it is straightforward enough. The bottling is very much like an essential oil, especially when you see the plastic dropper on the top. You can pour it directly into a glass, like a concentrate (except use far far far far far far less of it!), but I find it easier to control using a teaspoon. Whilst on a teaspoon it looks quite a lot like buttercup syrup, which brings back fond memories.It doesn’t really have much aroma, either before or after dilution- it’s much more about the taste than the scent, unlike Pukka’s teas which are strong in both.I’ve tried this drink in both still and sparkling water, and this time round I would recommend it in still, when normally I prefer sparkling. In this instance though, in turns out there’s something that just tastes wrong about what is basically a fizzy curry. Curry shouldn’t be fizzy- stick to the still!It’s certainly divided opinion in our house, but for fans of Pukka and their teas with a thick kick of ginger, this is a perfect Summer solution.

Ingredients/Materials:Glass bottlePlastic air tight seal.Concentrated sweet orange juice (51%), honey, sweet orange peel glycerite* (10%), ginger root extract (6%), turmeric root glycerite* (5%), concentrated lemon juice, turmeric root extract (4%), sweet orange peel tincture (2%), turmeric root tincture (0.75%), ginger root tincture (0.25%) * = contains non-organic citric acidImpressionsDissolves in water straight away.No bad taste or nasty smell & easy to drink once mixed.Is made of natural herbsRemarks:Has to be used within three weeks after opening.I don't feel any immunity boost, but i guess it helps.I'm a big fan of Pukka Herbs, but this "Aqua" addition didn't impress me. Ok i get it's made of herbs and is supposed to be boosting my immune system, but i just don't feel any different. Taste wise atleast its not bad, but then again the taste is too slim, i still prefer to drink a glass of tea just because of pukka herbs taste.Another drawback is that once opened, it has to be drank within three weeks, which is too short of a period (atleast for me)Overall 4/5 rating. Not bad but not great either, its nothing revolutionary.

I didn't like the tast of this one. Loved the camomile version so was eager to try this but it was really disappointing. All you can taste is tumeric. It taste like something you cook with. Not for me

Great taste to start with. If you adding the drops to your water bottle you better drink it quick as after an hour or so, horrible taste

Absolutely amazing idea! I put this in my water bottle all day long and it is absolutely amazing! So refreshing and not sweet like squash.

Liked the pick me up.

thanks

Love this.. so refreshing in iced water, still and sparkling..makes me drink more water..
