Lime, Grapefruit and Ginger Juice Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons natural cane sugar
• 2 tablespoons ginger, peeled then grated
• 1 cup / 240 ml water
• very scant 1/2 cup / 95 ml fresh lime juice - 2 juicy limes
• 1 1/3 cups / 310 ml fresh grapefruit juice - 2 juicy grapefruits

 

Directions

• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, stir together the sugar, ginger, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, transfer to a glass bowl or cup, and place in the freezer for a few minutes to cool.
• Strain the ginger into a pitcher along with the lime and grapefruit juices. You can either strain the citrus juices or leave them pulpy, just be sure to catch any seeds before they go in.
• Stir and taste, if you want a bit more sugar, go for it, but I find this plenty sweet. Serve straight in a tiny chilled glass with ice. Or use a splash to freshen up a glass of sparkling water.
• Makes about 2 cups / 1 pint.
