Key Ingredients
- Mint leaves: Use fresh mint leaves from your own garden or patio if possible. Mint plants thrive in spring and summer with bright green leaves. Look for leaves that are not browned out or have any holes.
- Water: I like to use filtered water for this recipe, but you can use tap water if that's all you have.
- Jaggery: You can find jaggery at most Indian grocery stores. Jaggery gives you the best results, but if you cannot find them, you could also use honey(not vegan) or sugar as a sweetener.
- Lemon: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best, but you can also use bottled lemon juice.
- Cumin seeds: These are optional, but they do add a nice flavor to the mint juice.
- Pink salt: Use pink salt or black salt for best results but regular table salt will work too.

Why I drink Pudina Sherbet
Mint is a refreshing herb that has many health benefits.
- Mint or pudina juice is a great way to stay hydrated during the summer months.
- It's rich in antioxidants and has great anti-inflammatory properties.
- It is also believed that mint can help relieve indigestion and nausea.
Mint is one of the easiest herbs you can grow on your own. Just keep a couple of mint sprigs in a cup of water (even better with sugar) for 3-5 days to kickstart the roots and transplant them to a sunny spot.
How to Make Mint Juice
- Wash the mint leaves and remove the mint leaves from the stems. Rinse them in cold water a couple of times.
- Blend the leaves along with water, jaggery, salt, and cumin seeds until the mint leaves are completely pulverized.
- Strain the mint juice into a jug or pitcher. Add 1 cup of cold water and lemon juice. Stir.
- Add ice cubes(optional) and serve the Mint Juice chilled.
Uma's Tips
- If you want a minty flavor, add more mint leaves.
- If you don't have jaggery, you can use honey or sugar as a sweetener.
- Start with adding half a lemon and then taste the mint juice and add more lemon juice if needed.
- Add cumin seeds if you want a little bit of a flavor.
Mint Juice Recipe FAQs
Mint juice is packed with health benefits. Mint leaves are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. Mint can also help with indigestion and nausea.
I prefer to use spearmint or peppermint for mint juice. Other types of mint do not seem to blend with the flavors of lemon and jaggery.
Mint juice will last in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Store the juice in a sealed opaque jar.
