Apple Juice with Nuts is a refreshing and nutritious beverage that combines the natural sweetness of apples with the crunch of mixed nuts. It’s a great way to enjoy the flavors of apples while adding a dose of healthy fats and proteins from the nuts. Here is a recipe for Apple Juice with Nuts:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Ready Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized apples
- 1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, or pistachios), roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- 2 cups water
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
- Wash the apples thoroughly and remove the core and seeds. Cut them into chunks or slices.
- In a blender or juicer, add the apple chunks along with 1 cup of water. Blend until the apples are completely pureed and the juice is smooth.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or jug. Pour the apple puree into the strainer and use a spoon or spatula to press down and extract as much juice as possible. Discard the leftover pulp.
- If desired, add the lemon juice to the apple juice and stir well. Lemon juice helps to enhance the flavor and prevent the juice from oxidizing and turning brown.
- In a separate bowl, combine the mixed nuts and remaining 1 cup of water. Let the nuts soak for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Strain the soaked nuts, discarding the water.
- Add the soaked nuts to the apple juice and mix well. The nuts will add a delightful crunch and texture to the juice.
- If desired, add ice cubes to the apple juice with nuts for a chilled and refreshing drink.
- Pour the apple juice with nuts into glasses and serve immediately.
Note: You can adjust the sweetness of the juice by adding a sweetener of your choice, such as honey or maple syrup. Taste the juice and add sweetener if desired, stirring well to combine.
This recipe serves approximately 2-4 servings, depending on the size of the glasses. Adjust the quantity of ingredients based on your requirements. Enjoy the flavorful and nutritious Apple Juice with Nuts!
