- 6 Ripe plums The stars of the show
- ½ lemon The zesty sidekick
- 1 cup Water For blending
- 2 tsp Honey Only if your plums are shy with sweetness
Wash plums, chop them in half, and toss the pits. No peeling needed! Juice your lemon half.
Juicer users: run the plum pieces and lemon juice through your machine, then stir in honey if you want.
Blender fans (like me): Blend plums, lemon juice, water, and honey until smooth.
Strain the mix through your sieve or cloth to catch the pulp, pressing down to get all the juice out.
Serve over ice and drink up! Or chill it if you’ve got the patience.
- Best enjoyed fresh for maximum Vitamin C retention.
- Adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness of plums.
- Can substitute honey with maple syrup, agave, or keep it unsweetened.
- To store: keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
