Tips to make perfect sugarcane juice

• If you have access to fresh-pressed sugarcane juice, use it within 15 minutes of extraction to preserve enzymes and nutrients.
• Jaggery varies in sweetness and moisture; start with 1 tbsp and adjust to taste.
• A pinch of black salt, a dash of lemon juice, or a pinch of roasted cumin powder can introduce an exciting flavour dimension.
• Straining is key—traditional sugarcane juice can be pulpy, so use a fine sieve for a silky mouthfeel.
