Instructions
- 1
If using fresh sugarcane, peel away the tough outer skin and cut the pale inner cane into 2-inch chunks, then add to a heavy-duty blender with 1/2 cup water.
- 2
Blend on high for 1 minute until the cane is broken into fibrous pulp, then strain firmly through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag, pressing hard to extract every drop of the sweet juice.
- 3
Squeeze the kumquats or lime into the juice and add a tiny pinch of salt to round out and amplify the sweetness.
- 4
Fill tall glasses with ice, pour over the chilled sugarcane juice, and drop in the spent kumquat halves for fragrance.
- 5
Stir briefly and serve immediately while ice-cold and frothy, as the fresh juice loses its bright flavor within a few hours.
