Instructions
- Begin by peeling the sugarcane stalks and cutting them into small pieces, approximately 2-3 inches long.
- In a blender, combine the sugarcane pieces with the 4 cups of water and the juice of one lime. Blend on high speed until the sugarcane is finely chopped and the mixture is sweet and frothy.
- To extract the juice, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press down on the pulp, ensuring that as much juice as possible is extracted.
- Discard the remaining sugarcane pulp and pour the fresh garapa into glasses filled with ice cubes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with a slice of lime if desired, and enjoy the refreshing taste of Brazil!
