Ingredients
Method
- Wash the star fruits thoroughly, then cut them into pieces small enough to fit into your blender. There is no need to trim the ridges or remove the seeds.
- Add the chopped star fruit to a blender with 2 cups of water. Blend until the fruit is broken down as finely as your blender allows.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher or bowl, pressing gently to extract the juice. Discard the remaining pulp.
- Add the lime juice, sugar, and bitters to the strained juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed. If the juice is too tart or concentrated, add a little more water until it reaches your preferred taste.
- Refrigerate until chilled, then stir and serve over ice.

Notes
- Choosing star fruit: Use ripe star fruit. A mixture of yellow and greenish-yellow ripe fruits works well, but the sweetness and tartness may vary.
Sugar: The ⅓ cup is what I used for my batch. Start with less if your fruit is particularly sweet, then adjust to taste.
Water: The 2 cups were enough for my batch. Add more after straining only if the juice needs diluting.
Bitters: Four dashes add flavor without overpowering the fruit.
Safety: Star fruit should be avoided by people with kidney disease because it can cause serious toxicity.
