Known for its refreshing tartness, this juice is not only a thirst-quencher but also boasts numerous health benefits, including high vitamin C content.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Shikwasa fruits
10-12, halved
Ice cubes
as needed
Granulated sugar
1/4 cup (adjust to taste)
Water
4 cups

Instructions

  1. Begin by thoroughly washing the shikwasa fruits under running water to remove any impurities.
  2. Cut the shikwasa fruits in half and use a citrus juicer or your hands to squeeze out the juice into a bowl. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp for a smoother texture.
  3. In a pitcher, combine the fresh shikwasa juice, 4 cups of water, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more sugar if desired.
  4. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the shikwasa juice over the ice.
  5. Garnish with a slice of shikwasa or a sprig of mint, if desired, for an added touch of freshness.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the invigorating, zesty flavor of Shikwasa Juice!

Tips

  • 💡 For a fizzy version, substitute half of the water with sparkling water.
  • 💡 You can also mix shikwasa juice with other citrus juices, such as lemon or lime, for a unique twist.
  • 💡 For an adult version, consider adding a splash of vodka or gin for a refreshing cocktail.
