Method
- Wash the apples, cut them into quarters, and remove the cores. No need to peel them.
- Place the apple pieces, coconut water, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of sea salt into a blender.
- Blend on high speed for about 1 minute, until completely smooth.
- Fill two glasses with ice. Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the glasses, pressing gently with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
- Serve immediately and enjoy while cold.
💡 Tips
- For a sweeter drink, add an extra teaspoon of honey or use a sweeter apple variety.
- If you don't have a fine-mesh sieve, you can strain through a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.
- This drink is best consumed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
