Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large English cucumber (or 2 small cucumbers), washed
  • 4–5 celery stalks, washed and trimmed
  • 1/2 lemon, peeled (or juice of 1/2 lemon)
  • 1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled (optional but recommended)
  • 1 small green apple or 1/2 pear, cored (optional for sweetness)
  • 1/2–1 cup cold water or a few ice cubes (if blending)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, to brighten flavor)

Method
 

  1. Prep your produce. Wash everything well. Trim celery ends. If using a regular cucumber with thicker skin, peel it. Peel ginger and lemon if using whole lemon.
  2. For a juicer: Feed cucumber, celery, ginger, lemon, and apple through the juicer. Stir the juice to combine, then taste and adjust lemon or salt.
  3. For a blender: Chop everything into chunks. Add to blender with 1/2–1 cup cold water and blend until smooth. Start on low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds.
  4. Strain if you want a smoother texture. Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut-milk bag. Press to extract the juice. If you prefer a thicker, smoothie-like drink, skip straining.
  5. Chill and serve. Add ice if you like it extra cold. Taste and add a squeeze more lemon or a pinch of salt if needed.
  6. Garnish (optional). A thin cucumber wheel or celery leaf looks fresh and inviting.
