Ingredients
- 2 pieces fresh sugarcane stalks
- 500 ml water
- 1 medium lime
- 1 inch fresh ginger (optional)
- 5 leaves mint leaves
- 10 pieces ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Ensure the sugarcane stalks are clean by washing them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife or a sugarcane peeler, gently peel off the outer bark of the sugarcane stalks to expose the inner flesh.
Step 3
Cut the peeled sugarcane into small, manageable pieces that can easily fit into a juicer.
Step 4
If using a manual sugarcane juicer, feed the sugarcane pieces into the machine gradually and collect the juice in a clean container. If using an electric juicer, follow the manufacturer's instructions to extract the juice.
Step 5
Juice the lime separately and mix it with the extracted sugarcane juice to add a hint of citrus flavor.
Step 6
Grate the fresh ginger and add it to the sugarcane and lime mixture if desired. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Rinse the mint leaves and muddle them slightly to release their aroma. Add the mint to the juice.
Step 8
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator or serve immediately over ice cubes for a refreshing drink.
Step 9
Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired and enjoy your low sodium Caldo de Cana.
