Refreshing Clam Drink Recipe
Ingredients:
- 24 fresh clams
- 1 cup of water
- 2 stalks of celery, preferably with leaves
- A small amount of crushed ice
Instructions:
Step 1: Clean the Clams Thoroughly
The first step in crafting this refreshing clam beverage is to ensure that your clams are thoroughly cleaned. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any sand or grit.
Step 2: Cook the Clams with Celery and Water
Add the cleaned clams into a large pot along with a cup of water and the celery stalks. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Allow it to cook for approximately five minutes, or until all clams have opened up.
Step 3: Strain and Cool the Juice
Carefully strain the clam juice through a fine cloth or cheesecloth to remove any remaining particles. Once strained, let it cool down before proceeding.
Step 4: Combine with Crushed Ice and Serve Cold
Mingle the cooled clam juice with some crushed ice for an added chill factor. For best results, strain once more before serving this invigorating drink in bouillon cups or coffee mugs.
Nutritional Note:
- This drink not only refreshes but also provides essential nutrients like iron and omega-3 fatty acids from clams.
- A study published in Marine Drugs (2020) highlights that seafood like clams can support heart health due to these beneficial components.
