- 500 grams bottle gourd (lauki)
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 10 leaves mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 4 optional ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Wash the bottle gourd and cucumber thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Step 2
Peel the bottle gourd and cucumber using a vegetable peeler. Cut them into small chunks to make blending easier.
Step 3
In a blender, add the bottle gourd chunks, cucumber chunks, mint leaves, and water.
Step 4
Blend the mixture until smooth. Depending on your blender, this may take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Place a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to extract the juice. Use a spoon to press the pulp and ensure all the juice is extracted.
Step 6
Add lemon juice and salt to the extracted juice. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a chilled drink, you can add ice cubes to the juice.
Step 8
Pour the juice into glasses, garnish with additional mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately for maximum freshness.
