Ingredients
- Ripe red kiwis
- Ice cubes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Newly harvested Jeju red kiwis are firm at first but reveal a beautiful red flesh when cut. They are perfect for juicing when you start to see a hint of red inside.
Step 2
Wash the kiwis thoroughly under running water. Slice them into rounds and peel them to prepare for juicing. Using a paring knife makes peeling easier.
Step 3
You can even skewer the kiwis for a decorative presentation. Kiwis vary in taste depending on ripeness: unripe ones are tart, while ripe ones are sweeter. You can choose kiwis that offer a slight tang or pure sweetness based on your preference.
Step 4
This step involves shaping the kiwis for a more visually appealing presentation.
Step 5
Creative shaping of kiwis for beautiful plating.
Step 6
Using a V-shaped cutter or a pointed paring knife, carefully make a decorative pattern around the middle of the kiwi and peel away sections. This creates a lovely design. Having specialized tools can make this process quicker and easier.
Step 7
The vibrant red color of these kiwis makes for a stunning presentation on any platter, perfect for special occasions or when entertaining guests.
Step 8
To peel the kiwi easily, start from the indented end opposite the stem. Make a shallow cut around the stem area and twist; the stem should come off cleanly.
Step 9
For a very rich and smooth juice, simply blend the red kiwis as they are; their high water content ensures they blend well. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little water, or include a few ice cubes for a chilled drink.
Step 10
Your fresh and delicious red kiwi juice is ready! It’s the perfect choice to start your day with a healthy boost or to refresh yourself during a lazy afternoon.
Step 11
Garnish the finished kiwi juice with thin slices of kiwi for an extra touch of visual appeal. You can enjoy it as a basic kiwi juice by blending with a little water or ice, or transform it into a refreshing kiwi spritzer by blending with lemon-lime soda.
