How to Make Strawberry Juice
Ok, let’s assume you already understand what ingredients you are going to add. Now we will see how to make strawberry juice easily.
Prepare the strawberries by washing them thoroughly, some remove the green stems, but these are edible and can add some extra nutrients. Usually, I leave the green stems for additional nutrition.
Using a Blender/Immersion Blender
The cleaned strawberries are transferred to a blender at high speed or you can also use an immersion blender. If using this blender, place the strawberries in a large bowl and blend with an immersion blender until soft and smooth.
You can drink strawberry juice pulpy, or dilute it more lightly or by filtering it.
If you choose to filter it, use a fine sieve or soft cloth so that the dregs can be separated perfectly.
Using a Juicer
The second way is to use a juicer. You can make the juice using a special juice maker. If you use this tool, you don’t need to filter it.
The juicer will separate the pulp and juice, so you can drink it straight away. Also, save the pulp, there are lots of strawberry seeds there that you can plant.
If you don’t use it straight away, you can freeze the strawberry juice in an ice tray for future use.
How to Store Strawberry Juice
It can be stored in two ways, in the refrigerator and the freezer. If you want to store it for several days, you can store it in a closed container and put it in the refrigerator. This will last up to 2-3 days.
The second method is to store it in the freezer. This is the best choice if you want to store it longer. Freezing strawberry juice can make it last up to 2 months.
Please save according to your preferences.
Recipe Tips and Notes
Wash it thoroughly before blending it, we usually blend everything including the stems. So washing clean is an important thing that should not be haggled over. If you want, you can soak them briefly in vinegar to kill any living creatures that may be on the strawberries.
Enjoy smooth juice with its smooth texture without having to strain it. This will be a great addition to nutrition and fiber for health. But some people don’t like it, and they filter it to get light juice.
Adjust the sweetness. Each strawberry will taste different, perfectly ripe fruit has a sweet and aromatic taste. Meanwhile, those that are undercooked may taste sour. So, please add sweeteners according to your taste.
Make strawberry popsicles: This juice is also great for making popsicles. You just put it in a popsicle mold and freeze it in the freezer. Popsicles will also last a long time when frozen, check the article about the shelf life of popsicles.
