Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized bottle gourd
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 cubes ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the bottle gourd using a vegetable peeler and cut it into small cubes. Discard any seeds or fibrous parts.
Wash the mint leaves thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
In a blender, combine the cubed bottle gourd, fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, and water.
Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and well-combined.
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl or pitcher and pour the blended mixture through the strainer to remove the pulp. Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture and extract as much juice as possible.
Stir in the sea salt and mix well to combine.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, if desired, and pour the strained juice over the ice.
Garnish with additional mint leaves or a slice of lemon if you wish, and serve immediately to enjoy this refreshing Whole30-friendly juice.
