TIPS
- Use Seedless Grapes: Opt for seedless green grapes for a smoother blend and a cleaner taste.
- Chill Ingredients: For an instantly cool drink, use chilled grapes and cucumber or refrigerate the juice before serving.
- Tear Mint Leaves: Gently tear the mint leaves before blending to release more flavour and aroma.
- Use Fresh Mint Only: Dried mint won’t provide the same fresh flavour or texture.
VARIATIONS
- Add Lemon Juice: A squeeze of lemon adds zest and elevates the detoxifying benefits.
- Include Spinach: Add a handful of spinach for a greener colour and an iron boost.
- Swap With Coconut Water: Use coconut water instead of plain water for natural sweetness and added electrolytes.
- Enhance With Ginger: Blend in a 1 centimetre piece of fresh ginger root for warmth and digestive support.
- Blend With Apple: A slice of green apple balances the tartness and adds body.
- Stir in Chia Seeds: After blending, add 1 teaspoon of soaked chia seeds for fibre and satiety.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Enjoy Fresh: Drink immediately for the best flavour and nutrient retention.
- Store In Fridge: If making ahead, pour into an airtight glass container and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
- Shake Before Use: The juice may settle; shake or stir before serving.
- Do Not Freeze: Freezing affects both the texture and the delicate taste of mint and cucumber.
