Craving a refreshing homemade juice but lacking a juicer? Don’t worry! With a few clever tricks and some readily available tools, you can still create delicious and healthy juice at home. Let’s jump in.
The Blender Blitz
This method utilizes your trusty blender for a quick and easy juice fix. Simply chop your fruits and vegetables into small pieces. Add a splash of water or coconut water for easier blending. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp (optional, depending on your preference).
The Muslin Magic
This trick takes advantage of the natural straining power of cheesecloth or a nut milk bag. Grate your chosen fruits and vegetables (cucumber, apples, and citrus work well). Wrap the grated pulp in cheesecloth or a nut milk bag and squeeze out the juice. You can repeat this process for maximum yield.
The Citrus Squeeze
For a quick and refreshing citrus juice, this method is all you need. Simply halve your citrus fruit (grapefruit, oranges, lemons) and use a manual citrus reamer or even a fork to squeeze out the juice directly into a glass.
