3. Taste the juice and add honey or agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink. Blend again briefly to mix.
4. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp, pressing down with a spoon to extract all the liquid.

6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Enjoy this refreshing drink immediately!

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you don’t have fresh ginger, ground ginger can be used in a pinch – start with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to taste.
• For an extra touch, garnish with a slice of lime on the rim of the glass.
• This drink is perfect for hot summer days, but it can also be enjoyed warm – simply heat gently on the stove and serve in mugs for a cozy treat.
• Consider adding a splash of sparkling water before serving for a fizzy twist.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before serving as ingredients may settle.
• If pears are not in season, try using apples as an alternative. Their natural sweetness pairs wonderfully with ginger and lime.
• For a lower sugar option, omit the honey or agave syrup and enjoy the natural sweetness from the fruit.

Pairings and Complements

This Pear Ginger Lime Juice pairs beautifully with light snacks and desserts. Here are a few ideas:

• Cheese and crackers for a sophisticated, easy-to-prep appetizer spread.
