- Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan 180C and loosely wrap the beetroot (unpeeled) in a bit of silver foil. Place on a baking tray and bake for 1 - 1 ½ hours until very soft and tender (check that a sharp knife goes through easily).

- Place crushed ice in 4 glasses, fill each with the apple / orange juice (to about two thirds of the way up) then spoon 2 tablespoons of the beetroot puree on top. Serve immediately.
