Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carambola (star fruit)
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (optional)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the carambola (star fruit) under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Trim the edges of the star fruit and remove any brown ridges. Slice the fruit into thin star-shaped pieces, discarding the seeds as needed.
Add the sliced carambola to a blender along with the water and blend on high speed until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the leftover pulp.
Stir in the sugar and lime juice (if using) until the sugar has dissolved completely. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Pour the carambola juice over a glass filled with ice cubes.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade carambola juice!
