Ingredients
- 2 pieces fresh sugarcane stalks
- 1 whole lime
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the sugarcane stalks under running water to remove dirt and debris.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, cut the sugarcane into small, manageable pieces, approximately 3-4 inches in length.
Step 3
On a stable cutting board, carefully peel away the tough outer layer of each sugarcane piece to expose the fibrous inner core.
Step 4
Using a sharp heavy-duty knife or a cleaver, cut the peeled sugarcane into smaller sticks that can fit into your blender or juicer.
Step 5
If using a blender, add the sugarcane pieces, 1 cup of water, lime juice (squeezing from the whole lime), and a 1-inch piece of peeled fresh ginger.
Step 6
Blend the mixture until the sugarcane is thoroughly crushed and resembles a pulpy consistency. This may take around 3-5 minutes, depending on the strength of the blender.
Step 7
Place a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher and strain the sugarcane mixture. Use a spatula or spoon to press the pulp and extract as much juice as possible. Discard the remaining pulp.
Step 8
If using a juicer, simply feed the sugarcane pieces alternately with the ginger piece into the juicer and collect the juice in a pitcher.
Step 9
Once the juice is ready, taste and adjust the lime if necessary, adding more for a tangier flavor.
Step 10
Serve the sugarcane juice over ice cubes and enjoy immediately as a refreshing Paleo-friendly drink.
