A little kitchen wisdom

Fresh sugarcane juice oxidizes and turns dark quickly, so it is best served immediately after preparation. You can add a small piece of ginger for an extra kick.

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

Not recommended as fresh sugarcane juice spoils quickly and changes color.
