Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy

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.
