Beverage Recipes
Green Drink
cabbage, kale, Swiss chard, turnip greens, or any other broad-leafed
edible tops.
grapefruit, lemon, apple, pear, pineapple (strawberries and grapes
are too moldy to risk).
Don’t use rhubarb or nonedibles! Swiss chard and beet
leaves contain a lot of oxalic acid. One leaf of each is enough.
Change variety daily.
Blend greens to make ¼ cup. Add fruit to make a total of
one cup. Blend together. Strain.
Kill Fertilizer Parasites
Remember to soak all greens and unpeeled vegetables in
Lugol’s solution for one minute to kill Ascaris and tapeworm
eggs. They may be present from the manure used for fertilizer
and they don’t wash off!
Fresh Pineapple Juice
Peel a pineapple. Remove all soft spots. Cut it into cubes.
Extract the juice by putting the pineapple through a blender or
juicer. There will be very little pulp. Strain the juice and serve it
on ice with sprigs of mint. Makes about 1½ cups of juice. Mix
the pulp with an equal amount of clover honey and use as
topping (kept in freezer) for homemade ice cream, pancakes, or
yogurt.
Maple Milk Shake
For each milk shake, blend or shake together: 1 glass of
milk and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
