Start by washing the green apples thoroughly under running water.
Core the apples and cut them into quarters, leaving the skin on for added nutrients and fiber.
Peel the ginger root and slice it into smaller pieces for easy blending.
In a high-speed blender, combine apple quarters, ginger slices, fresh lemon juice, and cold water.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth, making sure the ginger is fully incorporated.
Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher and pour the blended mixture through it to strain out the pulp.
Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press out as much juice as possible.
Discard the pulp or save it for another recipe, such as baking.
Add ice cubes to two serving glasses and pour the strained juice over the ice.
Add a few drops of liquid stevia to each glass and stir well. Adjust the sweetness to taste.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
