The Raw Truth

Ginger Blast

Ginger grows wild in riverbeds and the jungles throughout Maui. When hiking in the woods, the smell of fresh ginger is everywhere. Its wonderful

scent and flavor enhance this bracing drink.

SERVES 1 OR 2

1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and chopped

2- to 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced (about ¼ cup)

½ cup filtered water

Juice of 2 lemons

Process the pineapple through a juicer into a large measuring cup (you should have about 2 cups). In a blender, thoroughly blend the ginger with the
water. Strain through a wire-mesh sieve, discarding the ginger solids. In a pitcher, stir together the pineapple juice and lemon juice. Add the ginger
water and stir to combine. Chill before serving.
