Ingredients
- 1x Punnet Horti-Pride Fresh Cape Gooseberries – Chilled
- 1-2 Cups Cold Water
- Ice (Optional)
- Sugar (Optional)
Method
- Add approx. 1 punnet of chilled Horti-Pride fresh Cape Gooseberries to your blender.
- Add 1-2 cups of cold water, to cover the berries. Add more water for a thinner juice.
- (Optional) – Add a dash of sugar if you prefer your juice to be sweet.
- Blend. For a smooth juice, allow the fruit and water to blend for at least 1 minute.
- (Optional) – strain the juice. If you like your juice ‘pulpy’, then you don’t need to strain the liquid – you’ll get more health benefits if you don’t. If you prefer a thinner, less pulpy juice, then strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer.
- Serve over ice. Enjoy.
