Chef Noor's Tip

Grate the ginger finely and start with a small amount — it is potent, and you can always blend in more to taste.

Ingredient Swaps

Instead of fresh mint, use basil for a different refreshing note.

Skip the ginger or replace it with a little turmeric for a warmer character.

Sweeten with honey instead of sugar for a natural touch.

Common Questions

Is the ginger flavour strong?

A teaspoon of grated ginger gives only a gentle warmth; use less for a milder taste.

Can I serve it unstrained?

Yes, but strain it if you want a smooth texture free of mint and ginger fibres.

How do I keep it cold without diluting?

Use ice cubes made from the juice itself instead of plain water ice.

When do I add the sugar?

Add it at the end and taste gradually depending on the fruit sweetness.

Can I make it ahead?

It is best fresh, but keeps a few hours in the fridge; shake before serving.
