What Ingredients Will You Need To Make Tomato Juice?

• Tomatoes- Tomato juice can be made with just tomatoes alone. However, you can add other veggies and fruits into the mix, such as carrots, pear, celery, ginger, etc.
• Water – Add a cup of water while boiling tomatoes to let the juices release.

Steps To Make Tomato Juice

1. In A Juicer

Cut your washed tomatoes into smaller sizes that can fit through the chute of your juicer.

Slowly feed the chopped tomato into the juicer’s chute. Start your juicer, and voila. This method to make your tomato juice is perhaps the easiest method since the bulk of the tomatoes can be pressed.

The juice separates the seeds, skins, and any fibrous part of the tomato and channels them to an output different from where your tomato juice drips out of.

2. The Heated Method

Chop your tomatoes into smaller sizes. Get a pot and add your freshly grown tomatoes or whatever extra ingredients you want. Add some quantity of water to prevent the tomatoes from initially burning.

Heat with medium heat, almost enough to boil but not boil. While heating, don’t cover your pot. Continue heating for 20 to 25 minutes. Heat till all the juice has left the tomato skin and other fibrous parts holding them.

Strain the heated mixture using a fine mesh. Mesh tomatoes are good enough not to let any unwanted chunks get into your juice. Once done, allow it to cool. Then, refrigerate it.

3. In A Blender

Chop the tomatoes roughly. Then blend the chopped tomatoes until the mixture is juice-like and smooth for a couple of minutes.

Place layers of cheesecloth inside a large bowl or use a sieve and pour the tomato mixture from the blender into it. Lift the cheesecloth up and allow it to drain naturally. Then, using your hands, squeeze the leftover pulp to remove as much juice as possible.

4. With A Grater

Roughly chop the tomatoes. Then, grate them in a bowl as finely as possible. Transfer the mixture to a cheesecloth and squeeze. Using your hands, squeeze the leftover pulp to remove as much juice as possible.

Tips To Make Tomato Juice Better

Here are some tips to enhance the flavor and overall experience of your tomato juice:

• The key to delicious tomato juice is using organically grown tomatoes, which have a more intense and natural flavor. So, I suggest taking assistance from the Tomato Mentor, if you are growing tomatoes from scratch. This guide will help you to ensure that you have the best varieties of tomatoes.
• Tomatoes are sometimes sweet and sometimes tart. To achieve the desired flavor, add a touch of natural sweetness, like honey, or a splash of apple juice, to add acidity.
• Don’t hesitate to experiment with different herbs and spices to add depth and complexity. Basil, oregano, thyme, or a pinch of cayenne pepper will work well.
• We haven’t added any seasoning to the juice to make it natural. But a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper will add a subtle kick.
• Tomato juice tastes best when served cold. So, refrigerate it for a few hours before serving, or add ice cubes for an extra refreshing experience.
