Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Acerola cherries
- 2 cups, pitted
- Sugar
- 1/4 cup (adjust to taste)
- Water
- 2 cups
- Ice cubes
- as needed
Instructions
- Begin by washing the acerola cherries thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
- In a blender, combine the pitted acerola cherries, water, and sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- To ensure a silky texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher. This will remove the cherry seeds and any pulp.
- Taste the juice and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired, blending again briefly to incorporate.
- Serve the juice immediately over a glass filled with ice cubes for a refreshing drink. Garnish with a few whole acerola cherries or a slice of lime if desired.
