Homemade, no-cook tomato juice
The amazing benefits of drinking tomato juice are well worth the effort it takes to prepare it at home. Tomato juice contains a good source of vitamins and minerals. Such as: vitamin A, vitamin K, and B vitamins, as well as magnesium, iron, and phosphorus, are naturally in it. The facts are that drinking a glass of tomato juice every day can help improve digestion and even aid in good gut health and weight loss, among so many other things.
Ingredients:
8-10 large tomatoes
1 teaspoon of celery flakes (optional)
1/4 teaspoon of seasoning salt
1-1/4 cups of cold water
Instructions:
First, wash your tomatoes in fresh water. Then cut the tomatoes into large pieces.
Add the chopped tomatoes to a blender. Add 1 cup of water. Blend on high for about a minute.
I prefer drinking my tomato juice just as it is at this stage, after it's been chilled. However, if you prefer your juice not to have any tomato pulp or seeds, continue by pouring the fresh blended tomato juice through a chinois (a cone-shaped mesh canning sieve) with a bowl underneath the stand. Using a pestle, turn the pestle clockwise around the inside of the chinos to push the juice through the sieve into the bowl underneath. (Use the left-over tomato pulp for whatever you desire.)
Stir the seasoning salt and celery flakes (optional) into your tomato juice. Now, you can store the prepared juice inside your refrigerator until it gets chilled, or you can serve it in glasses at room temperature. Enjoy!
