TIPS
- Use Crisp Celery: Fresh celery delivers a cleaner taste and better hydration properties.
- Keep Ingredients Cold: Chill the cucumber and water before blending to make the drink more refreshing.
- Add Basil Just Before Blending: To preserve the aroma and avoid bitterness, tear the basil leaves right before adding them.
- Use Filtered Water: Clean, filtered water improves the overall taste and purity of the juice.
VARIATIONS
- Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze in a little lemon to add brightness and increase detox support.
- Include Ginger: A thin slice of fresh ginger introduces a subtle heat and supports digestion.
- Swap Basil With Mint: For a cooling twist, use mint instead of basil.
- Add Spinach: Toss in a handful of baby spinach for added nutrients without altering the flavour too much.
- Use Coconut Water: For natural electrolytes and a hint of sweetness, replace regular water with coconut water.
- Enhance With Apple: Blend in 1/4 green apple to subtly sweeten and balance the flavour profile.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Best Served Fresh: For maximum hydration and nutrient benefits, drink immediately after preparation.
- Refrigerate If Needed: If storing, transfer to a sealed glass container and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
- Shake Before Drinking: If the juice separates during storage, gently shake or stir it before serving.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as it alters both texture and the delicate basil flavour.
