This is the perfect season of gulping down a glass of chilled sugarcane juice; after all it is summertime! The best part is you will spot numerous thela-wallahs selling this chilling elixir in every nook and corner. What's more refreshing is the addition of mint leaves, chaat masala and lemon juice, which makes it even more refreshing in this sweltering heat. Not only is this juice tasty, but it is super healthy, too. It is known to be diuretic that helps treat urinary tract infections, kidney stones and ensure proper functioning of the kidneys. It also helps strengthen your liver and is, thus, suggested as an excellent remedy for jaundice.
Wash the sugarcanes well and peel the hard-outer layer of the cane with a big knife.
Now cut them into small pieces and blend them along with a ginger piece (optional). Add some water and grind it again. Make sure you have grinded the sugarcane well.
Take out the sugarcane extract along with the juice in a big container.
Take another container and place a muslin cloth or strainer on it. Squeeze the juice out of the extract pressing through the cloth or strainer.
If you don't find it easy, squeeze the juice with your hand. Take some of the extract in your hand and press it well till the juice comes out.
Strain the juice again as it may still have some extract. You can add some lemon juice and a dash of black salt along with ice cubes and serve chilled.
