Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by thoroughly washing the bottle gourd (lauki) and carrots. Peel and chop them into small pieces for easy blending. Similarly, finely chop the ginger and pluck a sprig of fresh mint leaves. -
Blend the Base:
In a blender, add the chopped bottle gourd, carrots, ginger, mint leaves, and lemon juice. Also, add 1 cup of water to help with blending. -
Make a Smooth Puree:
Blend the ingredients together until you get a smooth puree. The texture will be slightly thick due to the carrots and bottle gourd. -
Adjust the Consistency:
Once the puree is ready, transfer it to a bowl and add 2 cups of water. Stir well to achieve your desired consistency. For a thinner juice, you can add more water as needed. -
Season:
Add a pinch of salt to the juice and stir well to combine. If you like your juice with a bit of sweetness, add honey to taste. This step is optional, as the natural sweetness of carrots and bottle gourd may be sufficient. -
Serve:
Pour the freshly made Carrot Lauki Juice into glasses and serve immediately. For an added touch, garnish with a sprig of mint if desired.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve this refreshing juice as part of a healthy breakfast along with Jalapeno Scrambled Eggs and Bread Toast. This combination makes for a wholesome and energizing start to your day!
