Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apricots

    Wash the fresh apricots under running water. Cut them in half and remove the pits.

  2. 2

    Cook the Apricots

    In a large saucepan, combine the apricot halves, water, and granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, until the apricots are soft.

  4. 4

    Blend the Mixture

    Remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Use a blender to puree the mixture until smooth.

  5. 5

    Strain the Juice

    Strain the pureed mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl to separate the juice from the pulp.

  6. 6

    Add Lemon Juice

    Stir in the lemon juice to enhance the flavor of the juice.

  7. 7

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the juice for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
