Description

Ingredients

• 1 medium beet, roasted, chilled and peeled (you can always buy whole beets already cooked in a can)
• 1 cup 100% orange juice (freshly squeezed was used in the photo)
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 thumb-size knob fresh ginger

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash beet, remove stem and slice off ends. Rub the beet with a few drops of olive oil, wrap in foil and place on a cookie sheet. Bake approximately 50 minutes or until tender. If making more than one drink, increase the number of beets used. Allow beet to cool at room temperature, refrigerate until chilled. Remove beet from foil and peel.
• Add to the blender, beet and ginger root, blend until combined. Add orange and lemon juice, blend until beet is thoroughly blended. Pour over ice and enjoy!
• This recipe makes 1 1/2 servings and yields about 1 1/2 cups.
• To make 1/2 gallon: use 6 beets, 3 thumb-size knobs fresh ginger, 7 cups orange juice and juice of one lemon.
