Juice

One of the great things about living in Taiwan is the plethora of fresh juice stands. For 30nt ($0.94) I order up my favorite: carrot-apple-lemon-ginger, hold the sugar. More adventurous drinkers should seek out the bitter melon-cucumber-celery-carrot-honey. If you're looking for something more substantial, check out the avocado or papaya milk (hold the sugar). A straight watermelon is perfect for a screaming hot summer day. Another hot weather favorite of mine is the Bing Sha or blended fruit ice. Try the cantaloupe, mango, or lemon (half sugar).
