Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Lulo fruit (4, quartered and seeds removed)
  • Water (4 cups)
  • Granulated sugar (1/2 cup (adjust to taste))
  • Ice (as needed for serving)

Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting the lulo fruit into quarters and carefully removing the seeds. This step is crucial for achieving a smooth juice.
  2. In a blender, combine the quartered lulo fruit, water, and granulated sugar. Blend on high until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Once blended, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove any remaining seeds and pulp for a silky texture.
  4. Serve the refreshing juice over ice in tall glasses. Garnish with a slice of lulo or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
  5. Enjoy your Jugo de Lulo immediately for the best taste, or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
