We are only steaming amla for few mins which is beneficial in retaining vit c or other important nutrients...boiling amlas for longer time rips off the vit c
Even if there is a drop of water in bottle or in amla ,then it will be a flop ,you will get fungus only...amla and bottle should be dry before dropping in the honey
Did u dry the amla pieces completely??? It would have released the water in honey...in some days it will get spoiled ..store in fridge and finish off in few days...
