Start by peeling off the outer skin of the sugarcane. It is a little bit of work, but what you need to do is run the knife slowly at the edge and pull it down, so that it peels. I cut the sugarcane into three pieces – you need a really sharp knife to do it – and peeled off the skin per piece. Peeling off the outer thinly will also do.

Once peeled, chop into medium sized pieces.

Add the pieces along with the ginger, lime and cold water into your blender and blend on high speed for a couple of minutes till the ingredients are all well mashed up.

Pour through a sieve into a jar and squeeze off the additional liquid from the blend sugarcane till you cannot squeeze anymore.

Check for sweetness and add sugar if necessary. The sugarcane I used was not very sweet so I added a couple of tablespoons to reach the correct sweetness.

Serve cold and enjoy!!!
