Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 fresh cactus prickly pears
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1-2 tbsp honey or agave syrup adjust to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Ice cubes optional
  • Mint leaves for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Wear gloves while handling the prickly pears to avoid skin irritation. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off both ends of each prickly pear. Make a lengthwise incision along one side of the fruit and peel off the skin, revealing the vibrant flesh inside.
  • Chop the peeled prickly pears into chunks and place them in a blender. Add water and lime juice to the blender.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • For a smoother juice, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any remaining seeds or pulp.
  • Add honey to the juice and stir well. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
  • Pour the Cactus Prickly Pear Juice over ice cubes into glasses and garnish with a slice of lime or a wedge of prickly pear for an extra touch of elegance.
