Prickly Pear Lime Syrup (Sugar-free)

Prickly Pear Lime Syrup (Sugar-free)

Prickly Pears are brimful micronutrients like vitamin C, vitamin B6, niacin, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and more which are essential in lowering cholesterol levels, fighting cancer cells, boosting your immune system, strengthening bones, anti-inflammatory, and so much more. So with this powerful sugar-free syrup, you can fight off the nasties while enjoying the unusual sweet taste of prickly pears; a fusion of strawberry, raspberry, bubblegum, and watermelon. The addition of lime is a must as the fruit itself lacks tartness.

Ingredients

• 10 prickly pears, any color will do!
• 1 lime, zested and juiced

Instructions

1. Blend all ingredients in a blender until pureed. The prickly pear seeds are quite big and hard so those won’t break up. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. You’re going to want to use sweet, ripe fruits – but if the syrup lacks sweetness you can add a little agave or honey to your liking. 

Notes

• This syrup is great in combination with sparkling water, in a cocktail, or even as the base for a glaze in cooking.
