Refreshing flavour of green tea, mint, ginger and lemon, sweetness of grapes and cooling properties of cucumber makes this drink superbly delicious.
I have added little ginger in it but if you don’t like you can omit. Or you can increase the amount of ginger if you like.

Notes
1. I like natural Sweetness so I didn’t add any sweetener. You can add honey or sugar if you want.
2. You can add little more black salt if require.
3. You can increase or decrease the amount of mint and ginger as per your taste.
