Serves 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.

Tips

  • 💡 For added sweetness, consider using honey or agave syrup instead of granulated sugar.
  • 💡 If you want to enhance the flavor further, add a splash of lime juice or a handful of fresh mint leaves before blending.
  • 💡 This juice can also be blended with other tropical fruits like pineapple or mango for a delightful fruit medley.
