Ingredients
- 1 large ripe soursop (graviola)
- 2 cups cold water (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar, honey, or natural sweetener (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime or lemon juice (optional, for extra freshness)
- Ice cubes (optional)
🍹 Instructions
1. Prepare the Soursop
Start by washing the soursop thoroughly. Cut it in half and scoop out the soft white pulp using a spoon. Be sure to remove all the black seeds, as they are not edible.
2. Blend the Pulp
Place the pulp into a blender and add 2 cups of cold water. Blend until you get a smooth, creamy mixture.
3. Strain the Juice
Using a fine strainer or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a bowl or pitcher. This step removes any remaining fibers, giving your juice a smoother texture.
4. Sweeten and Enhance Flavor
Add sugar, honey, or your preferred natural sweetener to taste. For a refreshing twist, mix in a teaspoon of lime or lemon juice.
5. Chill and Serve
Pour the juice over ice cubes or refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy it cold for the best flavor!
