Description
A refreshing juice made from cucumbers, apples, lemon, and ginger, perfect for hot days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cucumbers (I used English cucumbers but you can use any type; see notes for peeling instructions)
- 2 green apples
- 1 lemon, peeled
- 1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 4 mint leaves (optional, for added flavor)
- 1 cup water, if using a blender to make the juice (you don’t need the water if you are using a juicer)
Instructions
- Cut the cucumber and apples into large pieces that will fit through the feeding tube of a juicer. If you will be using a blender to make your juice, then cut your produce into smaller pieces than if you are using a juicer.
- Run the vegetable and fruit pieces through the juicer. Collect the juice in a pitcher and serve immediately.
- Add the cucumber, apple, lemon, ginger, mint, and water to the base. Blend or process on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the blended juice through a nut milk bag, squeezing it from the top down to drain the juice into a pitcher. Discard the collected pulp, or save it and use it for another purpose.
- Serve the juice immediately.
Notes
- For peeling instructions for the cucumbers, refer to your preferred method: you can peel them if they are waxed or leave the skin on for added nutrients.
