Checked against the ingredient list for ten allergens: milk, egg, fish, crustaceans, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, mustard, soy and gluten. Brands vary, so read the label on anything new to you.

Method

  1. Blend the cucumber and mint with 50ml water.
  2. Strain through a sieve. Cucumber gives up its juice easily, so do not overwork it.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice, black salt and roasted cumin.
  4. Chill briefly and serve. It should taste of salt as much as of cucumber.

Storage

Same day. Cucumber juice separates and turns flat overnight.

Times, yields, allergens and nutrition are guidance. Use your own judgement on doneness and on storing. More in About.
