Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
• 2 cups cold water
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• Ice cubes (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the chopped apples, ginger, mint leaves, lemon juice, and 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth.
2. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove any pulp, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible.
3. Add the remaining 1 cup of cold water to the pitcher and stir to combine. Taste and add honey if you prefer a sweeter juice.
4. Serve the Apple Ginger Mint Juice over ice cubes in chilled glasses. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of freshness.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If fresh ginger is not available, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger as a substitute.
• For a naturally sweetened version, replace honey with a splash of orange juice.
• This juice is best served fresh, but you can refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Storage and Substitutions

• Store any remaining juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• If apples are not in season, you can use pears or peaches as a delightful alternative.
