8-10 starfruit
1 inch fresh ginger peeled
¼ cup juice of a fresh lime
6-8 cups water (you may need more or less depending on if you want thin or thick textured juice)
sweetener of your choice

Place the starfruit in a colander and rinse them under water.
Place the starfruit on a chopping board and use a paring knife to slice off the waxy edges.
.Repeat the above steps with the rest of the starfruit and set aside.
Place the starfruit, lime juice, ginger and the water into a blender.
Blitz until the pulp is smooth (you may need to add more water).
Strain off the juice in a fine mesh sieve or a cheesecloth over a jug or pitcher (use the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible, if you are using the sieve method).
Sweeten with a sweetener of your choice to taste.

Don't use green/unripened starfruit to make this juice as it will be sour. Starfruit that is bright yellow with brown edges is the sweet spot.
Make sure to remove the waxy edges before blending as they can make the juice bitter.
If you prefer a thinner juice make sure to add more water when blending, for a thicker juice just use less water (use the amount of water stated as a guideline).
Feel free to add more fruit i.e orange, mango, passion fruit, pineapple etc...
Keep the juice refrigerated and consume within 5 days, just stir it prior to serving.
Use a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve to strain off the juice, make sure to press down using the back of a spoon.
