- Peel off 1/3 inch ginger root, and mince or finely dice 1/3 tsp worth of ginger.

- Slice the cucumber into rounds.
- Once the ingredients have been prepared, add them to a high-speed blender, and blitz for 3-4 minutes.
Notes
Best consumed straight away.
*If you just want the juice, once you have blended the ingredients, strain them and discard the pulp.
It’s recommended that you drink it as it is, without straining it though since the pulp contains nutrients.
