creates: around 12 ounces of juice
tools we use
knife and cutting board
juicer
optional microplane or zester
things you need
3 medium size organic red beets
2 organic lemons
about an inch of ginger
here’s how
prep the beets by cleaning and cutting off the tops and bottoms, cut into sizes that will fit your juicer
prep the lemon by cutting off the peel and pith (the white part under the peel)
prep the ginger by peeling off the skin
juice all ingredients
helpful notes
remove as much lemon pith as possible (some pith is ok to leave on, but too much will give a bitter taste to the juice)
keep some of the lemon rind for a finishing twist or, even better, zest the lemon for a nice finishing topper (one lemon will give you about 1 tbsp zest)
if you are sensitive to hot spicy foods/drinks, reduce the amount of ginger
an easy way to peel the ginger is to use the back of a spoon and just scrape off
you can juice the beets first and set the pulp aside to use in other recipes
