mint 0.15 oz 4 g 4 leaves
lemon 0.25 oz 7 g 1 lemon wedge

  2. Pick grapes from the vine and quarter the lemon, place both directly into the press.

  4. Add 1 teaspoon of genmaicha tea leaves to the juice and allow to steep in the cooler for about 15-20 minutes, then strain and bottle.

Pro Tips

  • If you don't have any genmaicha tea on hand, you can substitute another sencha green tea.

  • Your cucumbers should be dark green with minimal to no yellow spots – these spots tend to develop once the cucumber becomes overly ripe. If your cucumbers are organic, leave the peel on, making sure to remove the wax with a veggie wash.

  • If the mint stems are green and soft you can juice those as well.
