Ingredients
  

Main
  • 6 medium Granny Smith apples washed and quartered (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 lemon halved
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger root peeled, for a warming kick
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder for anti-inflammatory benefits
  • Ice cubes for serving

Equipment

  • Cold-press juicer or centrifugal juicer
  • Blender
  • Fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Citrus juicer or reamer
  • Glass pitcher or serving glasses
  • Spoon for stirring

Method
 

  1. Rinse all apples under cool running water and scrub gently to remove any dirt.
  2. Cut each apple into quarters, removing stems and blossom ends but keeping the skin on.
  3. Cut the lemon in half and set aside near the juicer.
  4. Turn on the juicer and slowly feed in the apple quarters until all apples are juiced.
  5. Juice the lemon halves using the juicer or a citrus reamer and add the lemon juice to the apple juice.
  6. If using ginger or turmeric, add them now and stir well to combine.
  7. Taste the juice and adjust tartness by adding more lemon if desired.
  8. If a smoother texture is preferred, pour the juice through a fine-mesh strainer to remove pulp.
  9. Pour the juice into glasses filled with ice cubes and serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

Store leftover juice in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation.
