Description

This is an amazing cooler as it was surprising to discover cucumber juice could be so tasty.

Ayurvedic Note

1) This drink is good pitta samaka.
2) It will not reduce digestive fire.
3) Good summer drink.
4) This recipe to be a real authentic one, use water from a clay/mud pot. That water will be cool.

Note

1) That tiny pinch of salt will bring out the sweetness well.
2) I used english cucumber, which had very few seeds that were really tiny. So didn'nt deseed. If using cucumbers with bigger seeds, may be you can deseed.
