Equipment
- Blender or juicer
- Knife and chopping board
- Serving glasses
Ingredients
- 2 medium English cucumbers peeled and chopped
- ½ lemon juiced
- 4 –6 fresh mint leaves
- 250 ml 1 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon honey sugar, or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 small slice of fresh ginger
- 1 green apple cored and chopped
- A pinch of salt or black salt kala namak
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
Get Everything Ready
- Start by peeling and chopping the cucumbers. Core and slice the green apple. Cut a small piece of fresh ginger, and squeeze the juice from half a lemon. Set aside a few mint leaves as well.
Time To Blend
- Add the chopped cucumber, apple, ginger, mint leaves, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a bit of sweetener if you like (honey or agave works well) into a blender. Pour in some cold water, then blend until everything is smooth.
Strain It (If You Want)
- If you prefer a smoother juice, pour the mixture through a fine strainer or cheesecloth into a jug or bowl. Use the back of a spoon to press out as much juice as possible.
Serve It Cold
- Pour the juice into a glass over some ice cubes. That extra chill makes it even more refreshing.
Add A Little Touch
- Top it off with a mint leaf or a thin cucumber slice if you’re feeling fancy. Give it a quick stir, and enjoy right away while it’s fresh.
