I got fresh gooseberries from our friend's gooseberry tree. There was bunch of gooseberries in every branch of the tree. It was very pleasant to look at those bunches. I picked those gooseberries and made this fresh Amla juice. Those i picked are small ones, so i got some bitter taste. The juice made from big gooseberries are less bitter.
