#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Pumpkin**:
Start by cutting the pumpkin into small chunks. Remove the seeds and skin. You can use a small kitchen knife or a vegetable peeler to peel the pumpkin. Once peeled, chop the flesh into chunks.
2. **Blend the Pumpkin**:
In a blender, add the pumpkin chunks and 1 cup of water or coconut water. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, you can add more water to thin it out. Keep blending until the pumpkin becomes a smooth puree.
3. **Strain the Juice**:
If you prefer a smooth juice without the pulp, you can strain the pumpkin mixture using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Squeeze out all the liquid to get fresh pumpkin juice.
4. **Add Sweeteners and Flavors**:
Once the juice is ready, you can sweeten it with honey, add a pinch of salt, and spice it up with cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor. You can also add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice for a tangy twist. Stir everything together.
5. **Serve**:
Pour the pumpkin juice into a glass and serve immediately. You can serve it chilled or with ice cubes for a refreshing drink.
