That slippery texture is normal.
It is just being a cactus.
How To Make The Drink
Add the chopped nopal to a blender.
Pour in the water.
Add the lemon or lime juice.
Add the apple or pineapple if using.
Add honey if you want a softer flavor.
Add mint leaves if you like a fresher taste.
Blend everything until smooth.
If you prefer a lighter juice, strain it through a fine strainer.
If you do not mind the natural texture, you can drink it without straining.
Pour into a glass.
Add ice if desired.
Drink it fresh.
That’s it.
Simple.
Natural.
Homemade.
And much cheaper than those mystery wellness bottles pretending to change your life in three sips.
