Instructions
Rinse the Alfalfa
Rinse the fresh alfalfa sprouts thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water before transferring to the blender for the cleanest tasting drink.
Blend Until Smooth
Add the rinsed alfalfa sprouts, lime juice, sugar, sea salt, and 2 cups of cold water to a blender. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes until completely smooth and bright green in color.
Strain the Mixture
Strain the blended alfalfa mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove all fibrous plant material. Use the back of a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible.
Finish and Serve
Stir in the remaining 2 cups of cold water and taste for lime and sweetness balance. Serve immediately over ice as the vibrant green color fades quickly once blended.
