Papaya lemonade

Ingredients

• 1 cup ripe papaya ((quantity with skin and seeds removed, in chunks))
• 1/3 cup lemon juice ((1/3 cup is 1-2 lemons))
• 1 cup water (or more to taste)
• 2 stems cilantro/coriander (leaves only, optional)
• 2 tbsp honey ((or more to taste, can also use sugar))

Instructions

1. 1

   Make sure your papaya is ripe before using - it should be mainly orange/yellow on the outside and give slightly when pressed. Remove seeds and skin then dice the flesh.

2. 2

   Put everything in the blender and blend until combined - you may need to stir a little after by hand to ensure the honey is mixed through rather than sinking to the bottom. If you like, add a little extra water to be slightly thinner or sweeten a little more to taste.

3. 3

   Serve chilled - either as it is or over ice.
