PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Pomegranate And Citrus Immune Defence Juice:
- Prepare The Ingredients: Peel the orange carefully, separating it into segments. Extract the pomegranate seeds by tapping the fruit with a spoon or breaking it open, ensuring no bitter white pith is included.
- Combine In Blender: Place the fresh pomegranate seeds, orange segments, lemon juice, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and water into a blender jug. This mix forms the base of the juice.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on medium to high speed for about 30 to 40 seconds. Continue until the mixture looks smooth and well combined, with no large pieces of fruit remaining.
- Optional Straining: If you prefer a lighter texture, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve. This will remove any pulp or seed fragments for a silkier drink.
- Serve Fresh: Pour the juice into a clean glass and drink immediately. Serving fresh ensures you receive the full flavour, vitamin content and hydration benefits.
