Cook Time: –
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2-3
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 4 fresh green apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1-2 tablespoons honey (optional, to taste)
- 1 cup cold water
- Ice cubes (for serving)
- Apple slices or mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Start by thoroughly washing the green apples under cool water. The crisp, tangy aroma hints at the delicious juice to come.
- Core the apples and cut them into small pieces. The juicy crunch as you slice through the apples adds to the anticipation.
- Add the apple pieces to a blender, followed by the lemon juice, which not only prevents the apples from browning but also enhances their zest.
- Blend the mixture until smooth. The blend of apple and lemon creates a vibrant, tangy fragrance that will make your mouth water.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing out all the juice. The liquid gold you extract is the essence of the apples.
- If desired, stir in honey to add sweetness. The result is a perfectly balanced drink that’s both refreshing and tantalizing.
- Add cold water to reach your desired consistency. The transformation from pulp to a drinkable juice is almost magical.
- Serve the juice over ice cubes in chilled glasses for that extra burst of coolness. Garnish with fresh apple slices or a sprig of mint for a touch of elegance.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- Substitute honey with agave syrup or stevia for a different sweetening option.
- For an extra refreshing twist, add a few fresh mint leaves during blending.
- This juice is perfect served in a mason jar with a colorful straw – a delightful presentation for a garden party.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Refrigerate any leftover green apple juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
- If green apples are unavailable, substitute with Granny Smith apples for a similar flavor profile.
Pairings and Complements:
- Pair this juice with a light turkey sandwich or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
- It also complements oatmeal cookies or a slice of banana bread for a delightful snack.
