Sugarcane Juice / Homemade Sugarcane juice / கரும்பு ஜூஸ்

Most of us would have tasted sugarcane juice in roadside shops particularly during seasons & festivals; here is an easy way for those sugarcane lovers to try it at home!

During my childhood days, I used to munch on sugarcane especially during Pongal festival time, but now its a big task for my kids. 

At least to get them experience the taste of sugarcane, I prepared this juice and they just loved it! 

Sugarcane is rich in vitamins and minerals; loaded with many health benefits. 

Instead of drinking artificial and aerated drinks, try this natural Sugarcane Juice / கரும்பு ஜூஸ் (in Tamil) to improve your health. 



Ingredients:

Sugarcane (chopped) - 2 cups
Ginger - one small piece ( chopped)
Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
Honey / Sugar - to taste (optional)
Water - to dilute


Directions:
Peel the outer thick skin of the sugarcane using knife and chop into fine pieces.

Take a blender or mixer; add chopped sugarcane,chopped ginger and little water.




Grind into a smooth paste and dilute with water.  Strain and add lemon juice and sugar / honey (if using); mix well. 


Add ice cubes and serve chilled.


Note:

If you don't want to add sugar / honey; try adding salt to taste.


The colour of the juice depends upon the quality of the sugarcane.
