Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 inches Fresh ginger root
- 2 medium-sized Green apple
- 1 medium-sized Fresh lemon
- 3 cups Sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons Honey or agave syrup
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the fresh ginger root thoroughly. No need to peel it if it’s clean.
Wash the green apples and lemon. Cut the apples into quarters and remove the seeds.
Peel the lemon to remove the bitter outer rind, leaving as much of the white pith as possible intact.
Run the ginger root, green apples, and peeled lemon through the juicer as per your juicer’s instructions, collecting the juice in a container.
Taste the ginger juice mixture. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste based on sweetness preferences).
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and divide the ginger juice mixture evenly between them.
Top each glass with 1.5 cups of sparkling water, stirring gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately for maximum freshness.
