Step 1
Peel the 2 large sugarcane stalks and cut them into pieces that fit your juicer. If you don't have a juicer, you can grate the cane and squeeze the pulp through a clean cloth.
Step 2
Run the sugarcane pieces through a juicer to extract the juice. You should get about 1 cup of juice; if it's too thick, strain it through a fine mesh sieve.
Step 3
Fill a tall glass with the 1 cup ice cubes. Pour the sugarcane juice over the ice.
Step 4
Squeeze the juice of the 1 lemon into the glass and stir well. Taste and add more lemon if you prefer a tarter drink.
Step 5
Garnish with the 6 mint leaves and serve immediately. For extra flavor, rub the mint leaves between your fingers before adding to release their oils.
