Heading to Mahabaleshwar? Don’t forget to get mulberries. Rich in antioxidants and essential vitamins, these lusciously juicy berries are a great addition to your diet. Although the delicious berry is great on its own, here are eight ways in which you can make mulberry the star of your breakfast table.
2/8
Berry salad: Combine the health benefits of mulberry with other nutritious berries like strawberry. It gives you enough fibre and a big boost of vitamin C first thing in the morning.
3/8
Mulberry jam: If you are worried that the big box of mulberries won’t keep for long, turn them into delicious preserves you can use for a long time. Heat 2 cups of mulberries and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a non-reactive pan. Stir on a low heat and add one tablespoon of gelatine to it. Flavour it with a dash of honey or agave syrup for sweetness.
4/8
Ice tea: Add few tablespoons of hot water to a spoonful of the berry jam and stir for an instant mulberry syrup. Add it to milkshakes or ice teas for an instant refreshing drink.
5/8
Muesli: Throw in a couple of mulberries into your muesli bowl to up the nutrition quotient. Add a dash of yoghurt and flavour it with a helping of honey.
6/8
Mulberry yoghurt: Whip up a lip smacking yoghurt drink spiked with mulberry bits for a filling breakfast!

Pancake syrup: Instead of the usual maple syrup, chocolate chips and honey, pair pancakes with a generous dollop of mulberry syrup.
