Ingredients

• 2 large stalks Fresh sugarcane stalks
• 1 medium Lime
• 1 inch piece Ginger root
• 1 cup Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by thoroughly washing the sugarcane stalks under running water to remove any dirt or debris.

Step 2

Use a sturdy knife to peel off the hard outer layer of the sugarcane stalks. Be careful and use a chopping board to ensure safety.

Step 3

Cut the peeled sugarcane into small chunks, approximately 2-3 inches long, making it easier to extract the juice.

Step 4

Peel and slice the ginger root into thin pieces.

Step 5

Cut the lime in half and set aside for later use.

Step 6

Using a sugarcane juicer or a heavy-duty blender, add the sugarcane chunks and ginger slices. If using a blender, add some water (about 1/2 cup) to assist in blending.

Step 7

Blend or juice the mixture until the sugarcane and ginger are fully processed and the juice is extracted.

Step 8

If using a blender, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl to separate the juice from the pulp.

Step 9

Squeeze the lime halves into the sugarcane juice, adding a refreshing tang to the drink.

Step 10

Stir the juice well and pour it over a cup of ice cubes to chill the drink.

Step 11

Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Enjoy your nut-free Caldo de Cana!
