The Recipe: Melting Away the Pounds
Now that you understand the benefits of each ingredient, here’s how to make this delicious juice.
Ingredients
- 1 Lemon
- 1 Medium Cucumber
- 1-inch piece of Fresh Ginger
- A handful of Fresh Mint Leaves
- 2 cups of Water (or sparkling water for a fizzy version)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing all your ingredients thoroughly. Peel the ginger and slice the cucumber into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Juicing:
- If you have a juicer, you can juice the lemon, cucumber, and ginger separately.
- If using a blender, combine all the ingredients (lemon juice, cucumber pieces, ginger, mint leaves) with the water. Blend until smooth.
- Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother juice, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp.
- Serve: Pour the juice into a glass over ice for a refreshing drink. Garnish with a slice of lemon or a few mint leaves for added flair.
- Storage: If you make a larger batch, store any leftover juice in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before consuming.
