This Spicy Cleanse Juice is the perfect blend of tangy, vibrant, and fiery flavors, designed to awaken your palate and revitalize your senses. It is quick, simple, and incredibly refreshing, perfect for a morning detox or an afternoon mood booster.
I stumbled upon this recipe during a summer barbecue, and now, it is my go-to blend whenever I need a quick refresh. The spice from the jalapeño has a way of energizing you unlike anything else.
Ingredients
- Medium tomatoes: Choose ripe, vibrant ones for the sweetest flavor
- Jalapeño: Adds the perfect amount of spice; adjust the quantity depending on your preference
- Lime juice: Brings a tangy, zesty brightness to the juice
- Cilantro: Offers a fresh and earthy flavor with a hint of herby goodness
How To Make Spicy Cleanse Juice
- Prepare the vegetables:
- Carefully chop the tomatoes into small chunks and thinly slice the jalapeño. Handling the jalapeño with gloves is ideal to avoid irritation.
- Juice the ingredients:
- Use a juicer or blender. Add the chopped tomatoes, jalapeño slices, fresh lime juice, and cilantro. Blend or juice until completely smooth.
- Strain and serve:
- If using a blender, strain the juice through a fine sieve for a smoother consistency. Pour the prepared juice into a glass, top it with ice, and garnish with a lime slice for an extra touch of freshness. Enjoy chilled.
The zesty lime is one of my favorite parts of this juice; it beautifully balances the heat from the jalapeño and ties everything together. A memorable moment I have with this recipe was when I served it at a brunch with friends. It was an instant hit and sparked so many requests for the recipe.
Storage Tips
This juice is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving to redistribute the flavors.
Ingredient Substitutions
If jalapeños are too spicy for your liking, try substituting them with a dash of cayenne powder for milder heat. No cilantro on hand? Leafy herbs like parsley can add a similar freshness.
Serving Suggestions
This juice pairs perfectly with light breakfast options such as avocado toast or veggie omelets. You can also enjoy it as a palate cleanser during a multi-course meal.
The Versatility of This Juice
This recipe is highly adaptable. You can tweak the ingredients to suit your preferences or experiment with additional flavors. Try adding a touch of ginger for warmth or cucumber for a cool and soothing effect. The juice works beautifully as a base for non-alcoholic mocktails, too.
