Serves 4

Ingredients

Cashew fruits
4-6, depending on size
Water
4 cups
Sugar
1/2 cup, adjust to taste
Ice cubes
as needed

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing the cashew fruits thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
  2. Cut the cashew fruits into quarters, removing the hard shell and any unwanted parts.
  3. In a blender, combine the cashew fruit pieces, water, and sugar. Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined.
  4. Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the juice into a large pitcher to remove any excess pulp and solids for a smooth texture.
  5. Add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir well to chill the juice.
  6. Taste the juice and adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more sugar if desired.
  7. Serve the Suco de Caju in tall glasses, garnished with a slice of fresh cashew fruit or a sprig of mint, if available.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra refreshing twist, add a splash of lime juice to the mixture before blending.
  • 💡 If cashew fruits are not available, you can substitute them with a mix of fresh mango and passion fruit for a tropical fusion.
