Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Fresh sugarcane stalks
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 liter Water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 5 leaves Mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the sugarcane stalks. Use a sharp knife to peel the tough outer layer off each stalk, exposing the inner fibrous portion which holds the juice.
Step 2
Cut the peeled sugarcane stalks into small, manageable pieces (about 6 inches long) to fit into your sugarcane juicer. If you don't have a sugarcane juicer, a high-quality grinder or masticating juicer might also work to extract some juice.
Step 3
Feed the sugarcane pieces into the juicer, collecting the juice in a large bowl or jug. This may take several passes depending on your equipment to fully extract all the juice.
Step 4
Once you have extracted the sugarcane juice, measure the obtained liquid. You should have approximately 1 liter of sugarcane juice.
Step 5
Squeeze the juice of one whole lime into the sugarcane juice to enhance the flavor with a citrusy kick. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Add 1 cup of water to dilute the juice slightly and make it more refreshing. Mix thoroughly.
Step 7
Add ice cubes and stir them into the juice until it is thoroughly chilled.
Step 8
Rinse and gently bruise mint leaves before adding them to your juice. This helps release their essential oils, adding a refreshing herbal aroma.
Step 9
Pour the Caldo de Cana into glasses, ensuring ice cubes accompany each serving. Garnish with a mint leaf if desired and serve immediately.
Step 10
Enjoy your soy-free, freshly extracted Caldo de Cana!
