Beetroot Juice

Ingredients

• 2 medium beetroots, peeled and chopped
• 1 apple or carrot, chopped (for balance)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Ice cubes

Method

1. Blend the chopped beetroot together with the apple or carrot and a little water until smooth.
2. Strain through a sieve for a smoother texture, pressing to extract the liquid.
3. Stir in the lemon juice.
4. Taste — beetroot's flavour is quite strong and earthy, so the apple or carrot helps balance and sweeten it.
5. Pour over ice and serve chilled.
