1 large orange or minola, peeled
1/2 lemon, de-seeded and peeled
1 medium sweet or tart apple, chopped
*Fuji, Honeycrisp, Granny Smith are my faves
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, skin removed
cayenne spice
note: I always prefer organic ingredients when juicing.
Directions:
1. Wash all your ingredients.
2. Peel your orange and 1/2 lemon - and remove the lemon seeds. Orange seeds are OK, since they aren't as bitter. Chop your apple into chunks that will fit in your juicer. You can juice the entire apple - core and all. Chop ginger into small chunks.
3. Before you start juicing, be aware that there are two procedures for this juice. You can use just your electric juicer. Or you can use both an electric juicer and a citrus juicer: 1) Add the citrus directly to your juicer and juice it pulp/skin and all. This will result in a 'thicker' juice since some of the pulp/skin juice will be extracted and is a bit thicker than pure citrus juice. 2) Juice the citrus in a citrus juicer/squeezer separately and add it to the apple/ginger juice. This will result in a thinner, less pulpy juice. Your choice.
4. Start juicing all your ingredients. Stir gently to swirl the flavors.
5. Pour into serving glasses and top with cayenne. One tiny pinch to a few bold dashes will work. You can always add more later.
Spiciness Troubleshooting: If the juice is too strong, juice another apple or two and add the juice into the mix.
If it is still too strong, try juicing in some celery or cucumber (if you have it on hand). This will cool down the ginger. But then again, this is super sinus juice, so hopefully you can brave the spicy sip.
Note: You can also substitute the orange for grapefruit - if you'd like.
Health Note: Always check with your doctor before overdoing it on any one ingredient. Ginger may even interact with certain medications. Just because it's natural, doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful!
