Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 medium apples, cored and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup cold water (if using a blender)
juice of 1/2 lemon (optional)
ice cubes (optional)

Directions

I wash and core the apples, then chop them into pieces. I peel and chop the fresh ginger.
If I’m using a juicer, I feed the apples and ginger through the machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If I’m using a blender, I add the apples, ginger, and cold water to the blender and blend until smooth. I then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the pulp.
I stir in the lemon juice if I want extra brightness.
I pour the juice over ice if desired and serve immediately.

Variations

I sometimes add a small carrot for extra sweetness and color. If I want a tropical twist, I blend in a bit of pineapple.

For a milder ginger flavor, I reduce the amount slightly. If I want more intensity, I add a little extra ginger or a pinch of ground ginger.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer drinking this juice fresh, as the flavor and nutrients are best right after preparation. If I need to store it, I keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake it well before serving.

Since this is a cold beverage, reheating is not necessary. Apple Ginger Juice
