- 1 inch piece ginger
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 4 cubes ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the bottle gourd thoroughly under running water. Peel the skin using a vegetable peeler.
Step 2
Cut the bottle gourd into small chunks after removing any seeds if present. Aim for about 1-inch pieces to make blending easier.

Peel the ginger and chop it into smaller pieces to facilitate smooth blending.
Step 4
In a blender, combine the bottle gourd chunks, chopped ginger, fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, and water.
Step 5
Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and well-combined. If the consistency is too thick, add a little more water to your liking.
Step 6
Once blended, strain the mixture using a fine sieve or a muslin cloth to remove any fiber or pulp for a smoother juice.
Step 7
Stir in the honey for a hint of sweetness, adjusting the quantity to your preference.
Step 8
Pour the juice into serving glasses, add a couple of ice cubes to each glass.
Step 9
Garnish with a few mint leaves for a fresh look and serve immediately for the most refreshing taste.
