Title: Lagrimas De La Virgen (Beet Cooler With Fruits)
Categories: Beverages, Mexican
Yield: 12 Cups
3 Red beets
8 c Water
1 c Sugar
1 sm Apple (Fuji or Macintosh);
-peeled & diced
1 Banana; diced
1 sm Orange; peeled & diced
4 Romaine lettuce leaves; cut
-into thin strips
1 Lime; juice of
Peel the beets. Cut them into chunks and pass them through a juicer.
Combine the water and sugar in a pitcher and stir until the sugar has
dissolved. Add the beet juice.
Refrigerate until completely chilled. Add the apple, banana, orange,
and lettuce, then stir in the lime juice (which will help prevent the
fruit from browning). Serve chilled over ice, if desired.
Alternately, divide the mixed diced fruit among the glasses, place
the beet water in a pitcher for guests to pour over.
If you don't have a juicer, put the unpeeled beets in a baking pan,
cover with foil, and roast at 375 F until fork-tender. Let sit until
cool enough to handle then peel them with your hands (the skins will
slip off easily). Blend the roasted beets with some water. Proceed
with the recipe as written.
