For the bitter melon juice: Just remove the seeds from the bitter melon and grind add water, lemon (optional) salt (optional), honey(optional). Then seave and serve it’s very yummy. We all drink it’s really good.

If anyone still want to remove the bitterness, they can cut the karela and mix salt and keep it overnight.And then use the same the next day to cook. I ususally follow the same.?
