Ingredients

Estimated cost: 10.0 €

Materials

  • - bags of ice cubes
  • - vegetable-fruit juicer with screw shaft with low revolutions (40-60 rpm)

Preparation

  • Concentrated ginger, rosehip, lemon and mint juice in ice packs - Preparation step 1Prepare the ingredients, wash ginger, rose hips and lemons well under running water. Mint leaves, likewise, rinse under a weak stream of water. After washing, let it spin to remove excess water.
    Well-ripened rose hips are preferred, which are fleshier, a little soft, and not dry or very hard.
  • Concentrated ginger, rosehip, lemon and mint juice in ice packs - Preparation step 2Remove the seeds from the rose hips.
    The rose hips are cut in two with a knife, and with the help of a spoon, more precisely using its tail, the seeds are removed.
    The cleaned halves will be placed in a container of water for a few minutes (3-5 minutes), this way we make sure that we got rid of any remaining seeds or those perishables that can be irritating to some people. Then the water is thrown away. This sub-step is not necessarily mandatory.
  • Concentrated ginger, rosehip, lemon and mint juice in ice packs - Preparation step 3Peel the ginger from the peel. If it is ginger from BIO sources, it can be used with the peel, washed well beforehand.
  • Concentrated ginger, rosehip, lemon and mint juice in ice packs - Preparation step 4Peel the lemons and then cut them into 4. They also have the role of decongesting the fruit-vegetable juicer.
  • Concentrated ginger, rosehip, lemon and mint juice in ice packs - Preparation step 5We start squeezing the ingredients with the help of a vegetable-fruit juicer with a screw shaft, preferably with low revolutions (40-60 rpm) in order not to heat the ingredients.
    Ginger being a woody ingredient, quite hard for the vegetable-fruit juicer, it will be cut into slices, to make juicing easier.
    The ginger, rose hips, lemons and mint leaves will be given at the same time, thus we make the squeezing easier and ensure a good homogenization already during the squeezing.
  • Concentrated ginger, rosehip, lemon and mint juice in ice packs - Preparation step 6When we finish squeezing, we vigorously stir the obtained juice with a non-metallic spoon and then we will pour the juice into ice cube bags.
    To make it easier to fill the ice cube bags I used a mini-funnel. I tied the ends of the ice packs to make sure it wouldn't leak.
  • Concentrated ginger, rosehip, lemon and mint juice in ice packs - Preparation step 7In the last step, we will put the bags of ice cubes in the freezer. These will freeze in ~2 hours.
  • Concentrated ginger, rosehip, lemon and mint juice in ice packs - Preparation step 8⚠ The pulp resulting from squeezing will not be thrown away. It can be dried and used to make delicious teas with an immuno-tonic effect, especially in winter.

Observations

→ Freezing in ice packs is the best way to consume this juice for long periods of time. In addition, during the summer we always have a refreshing and tonic drink at hand.

→ It is also an ideal drink for athletes, I drink it as an intra-workout during training, being at the same time a good fat burner.

→ I will use the resulting pulp for teas, I basically leave it to dry on flat surfaces and turn it periodically for 3-4 days, then store it in paper bags or boxes. I recently purchased a dehydrator and the drying process is much more optimal, somewhere around 6-8 hours at 40-50 ºC. I confess that the tea from this pulp is exceptional...

Storage and validity:
→ It will be stored in ice cube bags, only in the freezer.
→ Effectively break a cube at a time, as much as is consumed, and immediately put the rest in the freezer.
→ Validity is 12 months from the date of freezing!

→ It is recommended to consume 30 minutes before or after meals. If you have digestive problems, with the stomach, irritable colon, ... it will be consumed 30 minutes after meals (only with the doctor's approval).
→ The recommended dose is a maximum of 3 frozen juice cubes per day.
→ It is ideal for athletes as an intra-workout, being tonic, energizing and helping to burn fat: 1 frozen juice cube per 1 liter of plain water consumed during training. If you like, you can also add a teaspoon of honey.

→ For children under 12, this juice is not recommended.
