1 Bel fruit
1 lit water
for sweet juice
sugar as per taste
for sweet and salty juice
black salt as per taste
roasted jeera powder as per taste

Method:
- cut the bel fruit. Scoop the flesh of the bel fruit with the help of a spoon.
- pour the water in a vessel.
- transfer the scooped fruit in the vessel and cover it. keep this aside for 5-6 hours.
- Sieve the water and discard the seeds.
- transfer the juice into a bottle and store in the fridge.
- At the time of serving, if you like sweet juice, transfer the juice in a serving glass add powder sugar as per taste, mix and serve.
- if you prefer slightly sweet and salty, add black salt, sugar and jeera powder as per taste, mix well and serve.
Tips:
- if you like the juice to be of a thin consistency, at the time of serving add more quantity of water and mix well.
- you can also add 1/2 tsp of lemon for the sweet and salty version.
- you can add normal salt along with the black salt.
- I prefer to soak the pulp of the bel overnight.
- powdered sugar or castor sugar is preferred over granular sugar to add to any shake or juice as its easy to dissolve.
- serve this chilled to beat the scorching heat!!
