Notes
- Use fresh and tender mint leaves. Try not to use the stems as they can make the juice taste bitter.
- Adjust the amount of jaggery or your preferred sweetener, lemon juice and salt according to your preferences.
- Any fruit or herb juice is best served as soon as it is made. So is the case with this mint juice. If there are any leftovers then refrigerate for a few hours only.
- Scale the recipe to make more quantities of the mint juice.
