Mint juice recipe - Indian style of making pudina juice with mint leaves, honey, lemon juice and few Indian spices.
I call this mint sherbet or pudina sherbet just because this is not the plain mint juice but it has few Indian spices as well.
During the summer season, you need to stay hydrated well. Along with the hydration, you need something that will cool your body heat. For this purpose, this juice is the perfect beverage for that.
Other cooling beverages -
roohafza milkshake // pudina chaas // watermelon mint juice // aam panna.
Mint has many medicinal properties. It is cooling to your body, good for easy digestion, good cleanser for the blood and body. So this juice is good detox drink.
Speaking of spices, we are using roasted cumin powder, black salt and black pepper powder. All these spices are for flavors. Also these spices are good for digestion.
Lemon juice is also added here. It will retain green color of the juice, even the next day. It also adds some punch and flavor to the drink.
So give this healthy juice a try in this summer and let me know how you like it.

Making Mint juice recipe:

- Take all the ingredients in the blender with only ½ cup of water.
- Blend it into smooth puree.
- Add remaining water and swirl again 2-3 times or till just all get incorporated.
- If you want you can strain the juice using strainer. I skipped this step because I like this way then why do extra step.
- If your water is not chilled then chill it in the refrigerator or serve with ice cubes.
- If juice is refrigerated then stir first and then pour into the serving glass.
What does it taste like if one skips the black salt?Also could one use sugar syrup or sugar-free instead of honey?
Black salt gives slight tangy taste which resembles the slight chatpata taste. You can skip the black salt.
Instead you can add pinch of chaat masala.
yes any sweetener can be used instead of honey.
