Sugarcane Juice Recipe
Sugarcane juice is one of the most refreshing natural drinks that comes to mind during hot summer days. It is made by grinding fresh sugarcane pieces with ginger and lemon, then straining to get the pure sweet juice. It is naturally cooling, light and gives instant energy.
Servings2 glasses
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugarcane cubed
- ½ inch piece ginger
- ½ no lemon
- ⅛ to ¼ cup water
- a tiny pinch salt optional
Instructions
- Peel off the hard sugarcane outer skin, then chop into small cubes.
- Transfer to a mixer along with ginger. I did this in batches as I used my small mixer jar.
- Add little water and grind it. Now drain the sugarcane extract in a strainer.
- Squeeze it with your hands or press using a spoon. Keep a bowl underneath to hold the juice.
- Repeat this again if you feel the extract is juicy then grind again and discard. Then proceed grinding with next batch.
- Collect the juice, and then finally strain again so that the small pieces of sugarcane is also strained
- .Now squeeze half lemon, add salt to the sugarcane juice. Mix well.
- Serve Sugarcane Juice chilled and immediately.
Notes
- Choose fresh – Always choose sugarcane that is juicy, not very dry or fibrous. It makes juice taste much better.
- Grinding in batches – I usually grind in small batches as mixer handles it better. Do not overload with too much.
- Strain well – After grinding, strain it with fine strainer and press nicely to get maximum juice. Sometimes I even squeeze with hand to take out fully.
- Lemon and salt – I add half lemon and tiny pinch salt, it balance the taste. You can skip both if you like only sweet juice.
- Serve immediately – Sugarcane juice is best when served fresh and chilled. If kept long it turns dark and loses taste.
