Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh apples
- 2 inches fresh ginger root
- 1 small lemon
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Cut the apples into quarters, removing the stems and seeds.
Peel the ginger root and cut it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice out into a small bowl, making sure to remove any seeds.
In a blender, combine the apple pieces, ginger pieces, lemon juice, water, and honey. Blend on high speed until smooth. Depending on your blender, this may take 1-2 minutes.
Place a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
Add ice cubes to the strained juice, stir well, and serve immediately. You can also refrigerate the juice for up to 24 hours if you prefer it chilled.
