Cucumber Ginger Lemon Detox Juice

INGREDIENTS

• 5-6 cups fresh water
• 2 large cucumbers, peeled + diced
• 2-3 medium ginger roots, peeled + roughly chopped
• juice of lemon (That's about 2 Tbsps!)
• 1 medium Granny smith apple, skin on + sliced
• handful fresh mint leaves, rinsed
• 1-2 fresh thyme leaves, rinsed
• 1/2 cup Agave

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add water and let it begin to boil. Once boiling, add chopped ginger, mint leaves, + thyme leaves and boil for 10-15 minutes before reducing the heat to the lowest setting and letting it simmer after the first 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and cover the pot to let everything cool + steep for 20-25 minutes.
• Next, add cooled mixture (leaves + chopped roots included) to a high-powered blender along with diced cucumbers + apple and blend on medium-high speed until smooth and 'foamy', about 2-3 minutes.
• Add in juice of a lemon and Agave and blend for another 15-20 seconds.
• Once done, slowly pour + strain juice into a pitcher, squeezing the pulp against the strainer to ensure that all juices are extracted. NOTE: If preferred, you can skip this step and leave pulp in.
• To serve—add drink to prepared glass(es) and garnish, if desired. NOTE: If preferred, you can let the juice chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving as well.
• Sip and enjoy!
