Tangerine Kiwi Basil Juice Recipe

Gathering in the kitchen and creating delightful experiences with our loved ones is what Zoyaaz cherishes most. Today, we’re bringing a deliciously refreshing drink, the Tangerine Kiwi Basil Juice. Perfect for a family heat wave, or just a golden afternoon, this drink is more than just a thirst quencher—it’s a little celebration of zest and sweetness wrapped in every sip. The combination of tangerines and kiwis, along with the aromatic hint of basil, makes this drink unique and worth every try. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:

• 6 tangerines, peeled and segmented
• 4 kiwis, peeled and chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
• 1 cup cold water
• Ice cubes, for serving
• Fresh basil leaves and kiwi slices, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Place the tangerine segments, chopped kiwis, and fresh basil leaves into a blender. Add honey to balance the tanginess, if desired.
2. Pour in 1 cup of cold water to help blend the fruits smoothly.
3. Blend the mix on high speed until you get a smooth, vibrant juice. The citrusy aroma from the tangerines and the fresh, sweet scent of basil will be delightful.
4. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp, leaving you with a silky, clear drink.
5. Serve the Tangerine Kiwi Basil Juice in chilled glasses over ice cubes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a slice of kiwi for a touch of elegance.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

• Substitute honey with agave syrup or leave out the sweetener for a purely fruit-flavored drink.
• For a more refreshing experience, chill the fruit beforehand or serve in pre-cooled glasses.
• Perfect for brunch, picnics, or cozy family nights in, this juice brings a bright, joyful splash to any occasion.

Storage and Substitutions:

• Refrigerate any remaining juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving as the juice might separate.
• If tangerines are unavailable, sweet oranges are an excellent substitute.

Pairings and Complements:

This drink pairs beautifully with light, summery snacks like cucumber sandwiches, fruit salads, or a platter of assorted cheeses and crackers. Additionally, it complements perfectly with vanilla panna cotta or lemon sorbet for dessert.
