Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
- 4 large apples (preferably sweet varieties like Fuji or Gala)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 2 cups cold water
- Ice cubes, for serving
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
- Start by thoroughly washing the apples. Cut them into quarters and remove the cores. There’s no need to peel the apples unless you prefer a smoother texture.
- In a blender, combine the apple pieces, ground cardamom, lemon juice, honey, and cold water.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and no large apple pieces remain.
- Place a fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth over a large bowl and pour the blended mixture through it. Use a spoon to press the pulp and extract as much juice as possible into the bowl.
- Transfer the strained juice into a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled apple cardamom juice over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and enjoy!
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more honey or use sweet apples like Honeycrisp.
- To give the juice an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon along with the cardamom.
- For a refreshing twist, replace half of the cold water with coconut water.
- Serve in a chilled glass to enhance the refreshing experience of this drink.
- Refrigerate the apple cardamom juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving again.
- If fresh cardamom is not available, you can use ground cinnamon as a substitute for a slightly different but still delightful flavor.
- Maple syrup can be used in place of honey for a vegan-friendly option.
- Pair this aromatic juice with a light snack like almond biscotti or oatmeal cookies.
- It also goes wonderfully with a cheese platter, featuring mild cheeses like brie or mozzarella.
- For a wholesome breakfast option, serve this juice alongside a bowl of yogurt and granola.
