Expert Tips
While using the mixer method make sure not to grind just pulse it few times to extract juice. IF you grind it for more time the juice may turn bitter. Depending on the fruit taste you can choose to add sweetener or not. Salt lifts the sweetness and also enhances the taste. You can add a pinch of chat masala powder or roasted cumin powder for an extra punch. You can replace regular salt with black salt. Always consume the juice fresh. Adding lemon juice is purely your preference. There is no rule or exact measure for mixing, you can make it as per your taste preference. You can substitute 1/4 cup of tang for orange juice. You can even add soda to make a fizz.
