Scale
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers
- ½ cup mint leaves
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon black salt
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon chaat masala (optional)
- 2 freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4–5 ice cubes or as required
- Water as required
For Garnish
- 1–2 mint leaves
- 1 sliced cucumber
- 1 sliced lemon ring
Instructions
- First, cut the top and bottom sides of the cucumber.
- Rub them in a circular motion to avoid the bitterness from it.
- You will notice that the white juice is coming out and later you will come to know that bitterness is removed completely.
- Now, nicely wash the cucumber and cut it into small pieces
- In a blender, add cucumber pieces, mint leaves, sugar, black salt, chaat masala, salt, lemon juice, ice cube and water. Blend it well until smooth.
For Serving
- You can serve directly by pouring into a glass or using a strainer, strain the mixture through the strainer to get a smooth texture.
- Add one or two thin slices of cucumber, mint leaves, sliced lemon ring and 3-4 ice cubes to each glass.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Instead of using mint leaves, you can use basil or rosemary leaves or both.
- To make this drink savory, replace sugar with salt.
- You can replace regular water with coconut water to make a healthier drink.
- You can also use sparkling water or club soda instead of water.
- If you are planning to make this cooler for a party, prepare the cucumber and mint leaves mixture in advance and keep it in the fridge. Add lime juice, black salt, water, and ice cubes just before serving.
- This recipe can easily double or triple, if you plan to make it in a large amount.
- Additionally, you can add a little piece of ginger while blending; it gives a nice flavour to the cooler.
