Ingredients
For the Detox Drink
- 4 cups chilled water
- 2 lemons, freshly squeezed
- 10–12 fresh mint leaves
- 1 tsp Sarbu Black Salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
- 1-inch ginger, grated
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes, as required
For Garnishing
- Lemon slices
- Fresh mint sprigs
- A light sprinkle of Sarbu Black Salt (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
First, pour the chilled water into a large pitcher. Next, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir well until both ingredients are fully mixed.
Step 2: Add the Flavors
Meanwhile, add the fresh mint leaves, grated ginger, Sarbu Black Salt, roasted cumin powder, and honey if you are using it. Then, gently crush the mint leaves with the back of a spoon to release their fresh aroma. Afterward, stir the drink until the black salt dissolves completely.
Step 3: Chill
Now, add the ice cubes and place the pitcher in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes. During this time, the lemon, mint, and ginger blend together to create a fresh and flavorful drink.
Step 4: Serve
Finally, pour the drink into serving glasses over fresh ice. Before serving, garnish each glass with lemon slices, fresh mint sprigs, and a light sprinkle of Sarbu Black Salt, if desired. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.

Why Use Sarbu Black Salt?
Sarbu Black Salt adds a distinctive tangy and savory twist to this refreshing lemon and mint drink. It balances the citrusy freshness with its unique flavor, making every sip vibrant, delicious, and perfect for hot summer days.
Chef’s Tips
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
- Lightly crush the mint leaves instead of finely chopping them to preserve their fresh aroma.
- Adjust the amount of Sarbu Black Salt to suit your taste preference.
- For an extra refreshing twist, add thin slices of cucumber or a few basil leaves.
- Serve immediately after chilling for the freshest flavor.
Note: While this drink is refreshing and hydrating, the term “detox” is commonly used in recipes but does not imply that the drink removes toxins from the body. A healthy liver and kidneys naturally perform the body’s detoxification processes.
