Greetings, dear @drinklovers. Thanks to the recent rains, my acerola trees (Malpighia emerginata), also known as acerola cherries, are bearing fruit. This fruit is very tasty and has high levels of vitamin C, ideal for boosting the immune system, so I eat it daily, either raw or in juice. However, I want to make a recipe that requires a flavorful and colorful juice base, so I decided to blend these acerolas with hibiscus infusion, adding a touch of lemon; so today I present to you my ACEROLA AND HIBISCUS JUICE (and a touch of lemon).

Saludos, queridos @drinklovers. Gracias a las últimas lluvias, mis árboles de semerucos o acerolas (Malpighia emerginata), también conocidas como cerecitas, están dando frutos. Esta fruta es muy sabrosa y tiene altos niveles de vitamina C, ideal para reforzar el sistema immune, por lo que la consumo a diario, ya sean crudas o en jugos. Sin embargo, quiero hacer una receta para la cual necesito como base un jugo que sea sabroso y colorido, así que decidí mezclar estos semerucos con infusión de hibisco, añadiéndole un toque de limón; así pues que hoy les presento mi JUGO DE SEMERUCO CON HIBISCO (y un toque de limón).

The acerolas I'm using I picked this morning, as well as the lemon that will give this drink an extra touch of acidity. It's so rewarding to be able to harvest what we eat, because you can appreciate and value food even more. That said, let's get to the recipe!

Los semerucos que estoy usando los recolecté esta mañana, así como el limón que le dará un toque extra de acidez a esta bebida. Es gratificante el poder cosechar lo que comemos, pues puedes apreciar y valorar aún más la comida. Dicho esto, ¡vamos a la receta!

THE RECIPE / LA RECETA

Time, ingredients and equipment

Preparation time: This is a simple recipe; however, the hibiscus needs to be boiled, so it takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare.
The quantities can vary according to individual taste and availability.
Servings: Here I prepared approximately 1 liter of acerolas and hibiscus juice, but this amount can vary.
120 grams of ripe acerolas.
25 grams of dried hibiscus flowers.
1 tablespoon of white vinegar, to sanitize the fruit.
Enough water to wash, soak, and rinse the acerolas.
350 ml of drinking water, to boil the hibiscus.
500 ml of drinking water, to blend the acerolas.
1 lemon (you can substitute it with another citrus fruit).
Sweetener to taste. I used 50 grams of white sugar.
Ice to taste.
Plate, knife, blender, spoon, strainer, etc.

Tiempo, ingredientes y equipo

Tiempo de preparación: Es una receta sencilla, sin embargo, hay que hervir el hibisco, por lo que se requieren aproximadamente 30 minutos para su elaboración.
Las cantidades pueden variar de acuerdo al gusto y a la disponibilidad de cada quien.
Raciones: Aquí preparé aproximadamente 1 litro de jugo de semerucos con hibisco y su toque de limón, pero esta cantidad puede variar.
120 gramos de semerucos o acerolas, que estén maduros.
25 gramos de flor de hibisco, seca.
1 cucharada de vinagre blanco, para higienizar las frutas.
Agua suficiente para lavar, remojar y enjuagar los semerucos.
350 ml de agua potable, para hervir el hibisco.
500 ml de agua potable, para licuar los semerucos o acerolas.
1 limón (puedes sustituirlo por otro cítrico).
Endulzante al gusto. Yo usé 50 gramos de azúcar blanca.
Hielo al gusto.
Plato, cuchillo, licuadora, cucharilla, colador, etc.

THE PROCEDURE / EL PROCESO

Disinfect the fruit with clean water and vinegar, letting it soak for 20 minutes in this mixture. It should be noted that even though I pick these fruits directly from my trees, I still disinfect them because insects and birds can contaminate them.

Desinfectar las frutas con agua limpia y vinagre, dejándolas remojar por 20 minutos en dicha mezcla. Cabe señalar que aun cuando yo recolecto directamente estas frutas de mis árboles, igualmente las desinfecto, porque hay insectos y aves que pueden contaminarlas.

Meanwhile, place the dried hibiscus flowers in water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat for approximately 10 minutes. After this time, let it steep for another 10 minutes.

Mientras tanto, colocar la flor de hibisco seca en agua, y llevar a hervir a fuego medio alto, por aproximadamente 10 minutos. Pasado este tiempo, dejar infusionar por 10 minutos más.

After the fruit has soaked, rinse it thoroughly with clean water and place it in a blender. Add the drinking water and blend at high speed for approximately 1 minute. Strain and set aside.

Pasado el tiempo de remojo de las frutas, enjuagarlas muy bien con agua limpia y colocarlas en el vaso de la licuadora, añadir el agua potable y licuar a alta velocidad por 1 minuto aproximadamente. Colar y reservar.

Strain the hibiscus tea and add it to the juice of the acerola. Add the juice of one lemon, making sure to remove all the seeds. Sweeten and mix well.

Colar el té de hibisco y añadirlo al jugo de semerucos o acerolas. Añadir el jugo de un limón, evitando que las semillas queden en la preparación. Endulzar y mezclar bien.

And this delicious, colorful, and potent drink is ready! Serve in a glass with ice cubes and enjoy this juice, which has a pronounced acerola flavor, complemented by hibiscus, and a touch of lemon that adds a fresh, citrusy accent that blends perfectly. Cheers!

Y ya está lista esta deliciosa, colorida y potente bebida. Servir en vaso con cubos de hielo y disfrutar de este jugo, que tiene un marcado sabor a semerucos, pero se complementa con el hibisco, y el toque de limón le da un acento fresco y cítrico que combina muy bien. Cheers!

Hello, dear soul! Yes, I know... it has been a long time since I stopped by. Life has been busy being life (you know how that goes), but I wanted to stop by and say, what a unique drink you have created! I must say this drink certainly would have a very tangy and robust taste! I have had cherries before, as well as lemon. But the only Hibiscus I have ever experienced was planting one in our yard. So I am not sure what that taste would be. But with the cherries and lemons, I am guessing it would perhaps overpower the hibiscus? Either way, love this recipe as well as the decorative mats and containers, AND that beautiful glass!! Thank you for sharing this with us! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas planned with family and friends!

Hello my dear friend! It's so nice to see you visiting my post. It's true, I know life is super complicated, but it's so lovely to know that we're always remembered.

You know, this juice surprised me a lot because the flavor is so good—it's tangy, sweet, and potent. As for the hibiscus, it adds a very pleasant flavor, along with a deep red color.

I'm glad you like the rugs; they're really lovely. And about the glass, it's a family heirloom. They were my Aunt Chichita's glasses, which I still have and use. They're beautiful; I don't think they make them like that anymore.

I hope you're doing well, that you had a wonderful Christmas Eve, and that you're having a beautiful Christmas.

Hugs!

De por sí el hibisco nos regala una bebida y un té delicioso, con el añadido de las cerezas acerola de seguro se intesifica más el sabor y más vitaminas por supuesto. Saludos.
