Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Juice
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 oranges, peeled
- 1 grapefruit, peeled
- 1 lemon, peeled
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 cup water
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash all citrus fruits under cool running water to remove any surface dirt or residue.
- Carefully peel the oranges, grapefruit, and lemon, ensuring to remove all white pith to prevent bitterness. Set peeled fruits aside.
- Peel the fresh ginger root using the edge of a spoon or a small paring knife, then grate it finely using a microplane or fine grater.
- Cut the peeled citrus fruits into smaller segments that will fit easily into your juicer or blender.
- If using a juicer, feed the citrus segments and grated ginger through the machine, collecting the fresh juice in a pitcher.
- If using a blender, add the citrus segments, grated ginger, and water. Blend on high speed until smooth and completely liquefied.
- For a smoother consistency, strain the blended juice through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove pulp.
- Taste the juice and adjust by adding more water if needed to reach desired strength.
- Chill the juice in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or add ice cubes to serve immediately.
- Pour into glasses, garnish with a small ginger slice or citrus wedge if desired, and serve cold.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Produce: For the best flavor and nutritional benefits, select ripe, organic citrus fruits. The fresher the ingredients, the tastier your juice will be!
- Peel with Care: When peeling your citrus fruits, ensure you remove all the white pith, as it can impart a bitter taste to your juice.
- Experiment with Ratios: Feel free to adjust the quantities of each fruit to suit your personal taste. If you prefer a sweeter juice, add more oranges; for a tangier kick, increase the grapefruit.
- Ginger Power: Fresh ginger adds a delightful zing and health benefits, but you can adjust the amount based on your preference. Start with a small amount and add more if you enjoy the spiciness.
- Strain for Smoothness: If you prefer a smoother juice, don’t skip the straining step! This will help remove any pulp and give you a refreshing drink with a silky texture.
- Chill for Refreshment: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your juice in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving or add ice cubes right before pouring.
- Garnish for Style: Elevate your presentation by garnishing with a slice of ginger or a citrus wedge on the rim of your glass. It adds a touch of elegance and visual appeal!
