TIPS
- Choose Ripe Pears: A soft and ripe pear blends more easily and adds natural sweetness.
- Grate Finely: Finely grated ginger disperses better in the drink and avoids overpowering chunks.
- Use Cold Water: Chilled water enhances the refreshing taste and saves you from needing ice.
- Adjust Sweetness: Add a drop of maple syrup or honey if you prefer a slightly sweeter flavour.
- Use A Blender Bottle: If you don’t have a blender, mash the pear and ginger, then shake with water.
VARIATIONS
- Add Lemon Juice: A squeeze of lemon adds brightness and additional vitamin C.
- Include Mint Leaves: Fresh mint gives a cooling edge and pairs beautifully with pear and ginger.
- Boost With Turmeric: A pinch of turmeric enhances anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Blend With Apple: Swap half the pear for green apple to balance the sweetness with tartness.
- Use Coconut Water: Replace regular water with coconut water for added electrolytes and a tropical twist.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store any leftover drink in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing can affect the texture and separation of blended fruit-based drinks.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the ingredients the night before, storing the chopped pear and grated ginger separately in the fridge.
- Best Served Fresh: For optimal nutritional value and flavour, enjoy immediately after blending.
- Glass Bottles For Storage: Use clean glass bottles for storing and shaking before drinking to maintain freshness.
