Who does not love to drink fruit juice? But making juice from whole fruits is the biggest challenge. Not all households have juicers or blenders, so why not want to eat juice? In fact, juicing doesn't always require modern equipment. Make fresh juice without a mixer with the materials available in the kitchen.
Fruit juice provides instant energy to the body. If you drink pure fruit juice regularly, the skin also becomes bright and smooth. Learn 5 easy ways to make juice at home without a modern juice-maker.
1. With the help of strainer and spoon
Cut soft fruits such as ripe papaya, mango or strawberries into small pieces, and put them in a fine mesh strainer. Squeeze the fruit well with the back of a spoon to extract the juice. A bowl placed below will drain the juice directly into it. Add a little water if necessary. It is better not to add sugar. If the juice is too sour, add a piece of jaggery to it.
2. Use a grater
Juice can also be extracted from hard fruits and vegetables such as apples, pears or carrots. First wash the fruit well and grate it on a grater. Then put the grated fruits/vegetables in a clean thin cloth or fine mesh strainer and squeeze out the juice with your hands or a spoon. Pulp separation is also easy with this method.
3. Grind with a stone grinder
Cut the ripe fruit into small pieces and grind them well on a sieve. Add little water if necessary. When a fine paste is formed, strain it through a strainer to extract the juice. If you want to add mint or ginger to it, they can also be ground in a stone grinder.
4. Hand is enough for soft fruit
Citrus fruits such as limes, oranges or mosambi do not require any machinery. First roll the fruit slightly on a flat surface with palm pressure. Then cut it in half, squeeze out the juice by hand. Strain through a strainer to remove the seeds and pulp.
5. Shake into a clean bottle or jar
Place grapes, berries, or similar fluffy, soft fruit in a clean, lidded jar with a slight squeeze. Pour little water, close the lid tightly. Then shake well for few minutes. Remove the lid and strain out the seeds and peel in a colander.
