Ingredients

  • 4 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons elderflower syrup
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh pear slices for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions

  2. Blend until smooth. You’ll be greeted by the sweet, floral aroma of the elderflower mixing with the fresh, juicy scent of the pears.
  3. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp, ensuring a smooth and silky texture for your juice.
  4. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the strained juice over the ice. The cold surface will add a refreshing chill, enhancing the flavors.
  5. Garnish with fresh pear slices and mint leaves, if desired. These add a delightful aesthetic touch and an additional burst of fresh flavor.
Helpful Tips and Variations

  • If elderflower syrup isn’t available, you can substitute it with honey for a different, but equally delightful, sweetness.
  • For a sparkling version, use sparkling water instead of still water.
  • This juice is perfect for a family brunch or a cozy afternoon snack. Serve in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience.
Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving again.
If pears are out of season, apples can be used as a substitute.
