Ingredients
- 4 ripe pears, cored and chopped
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Sugar or honey, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Start by placing the chopped pears into a blender. The juicy goodness of the pears will form the base of your drink.

- Taste the blend and, if desired, add a touch of sugar or honey for sweetness. Blend again to ensure it’s well mixed.
- Pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Serve over ice to keep it refreshing and chilled. The ice cubes will clink gently as you enjoy each sip.

Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before serving.

- If you have dietary restrictions, agave syrup can replace honey for a vegan option.
