Anyone who’s tasted sugarcane juice can attest to the fact that there is nothing quite refreshing and delicious especially on a warm summer’s day. Regarded as a grass crop, sugar cane is best consumed raw or in the form of a juice. Naturally sweet and enjoyable, it is one of the rare few juices in which you do not have to add any sugar. You can also enhance its flavour profile by adding healthy ingredients like ginger juice or dry ginger powder, lemon and mint leaves. But not many know that sugarcane juice can also be combined with a few different fruits and herbs. That’s why we’ve listed out three unique mock-tail sugar cane juice recipes.
