Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Bottle gourd
- 1 medium Lemon
- 10 leaves Mint leaves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 1 cup Water
- 6 cubes Ice cubes
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper powder
Instructions
Wash the bottle gourd thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Peel the skin of the bottle gourd using a vegetable peeler, then cut it into small chunks for easy blending.
Peel the ginger and roughly chop it to help in blending.
In a blender, add the chopped bottle gourd pieces, mint leaves, chopped ginger, and a cup of water.
Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and there are no visible chunks.
Once blended, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or a cheesecloth to remove the pulp and obtain a smooth liquid.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the strained bottle gourd juice and stir well.
Add a pinch of salt and black pepper powder to enhance the flavor.
Place ice cubes in serving glasses and pour the prepared juice over the ice.
Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired and serve immediately for a refreshing experience.
