Don’t discard the vibrant pink peel of your dragon fruit—it’s packed with nutrients and makes a refreshing, healthy drink! Here’s an easy guide to transform it into nutritious juice.
First, thoroughly wash 2-3 dragon fruit peels to remove dirt. Trim off any brown or wilted parts, then chop the peels into small pieces for easier blending. For a smoother texture, boil the chopped peels in 2 cups of water for 5–10 minutes until soft, then let them cool.
Next, blend the boiled peels with 1 cup of fresh water until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp, pressing gently to extract all the liquid. For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice, a teaspoon of honey, or a few mint leaves.
For a chilled version, refrigerate the juice for 1–2 hours before serving. You can also blend it with other fruits like pineapple or cucumber for a twist. Rich in fiber and antioxidants, this juice supports digestion and boosts immunity. Enjoy this vibrant, eco-friendly drink as a daily health boost!
