We will soon see hawkers on roadsides installing themselves with their sugarcane crushers and a beeline of people waiting to quench their thirst with a glass of sugarcane juice.
While the sugarcane is being crushed it will have a touch of ginger and lime added too.
A tall glass of sugarcane juice with crushed ice is anyone's choice in this
sweltering heat.

In the heat I suppose anything ice cold is a welcome drink. But you are different (lol)

@Asylum What about those reusable colourful plastic ice cubes that are dropped in the drink.

Hmmm.... I've never heard of Sugarcane juice being healthy or used as a cooling juice before.
Pretty and I have a Sugarcane stand in our yard. (Here is the Sugarcane growing in our yard. This is an older picture. I only took pictures last year before it reached full height.)
I wonder how I can get a hold of one of those presses to squeeze the juice out? (Pretty simmered some cut pieces of stalks a couple of years ago to extract the juice and made syrup from it.)

@DaddyEvil You are right about the term. They are called juicer or press.
Find great deals on eBay for Sugar Cane Juicer in Restaurant Blenders, Mixers, and Juicers. Shop with confidence.

@allknowing Yes, I called it a press. I have no clue where to look for something like that... Would you have any idea?

You are right about the heat. It is so hot now. I think I have not had any sugar cane juice. I usually go for cold water, coco water, soda, or fresh juice to quench my thirst.

Since sugarcane is seasonal we do not hav shops here but there is no reason for stalls to be dirty.

Even 5 star hotel kitchens need not be clean. I have never seen shops where sugarcane juice is prepared . That must be collected from stalls as is the case with many dishes in great hotels too.

@allknowing You have to be choosy about from where you drink it.

Actually there is hardly any choice for these kind of stalls. They are there just once a year.

There are several sugarcane fields around here and so too in several other parts of the country.The touch of ginger and lime makes it taste better.
