Although I like freshly squeezed juice very much, I won't consider buying a juicer unless I have to squeeze it again. My method has moderate price and good effect. You can make your own juice without special equipment.
A blender that can work like a juicer or food processor.
For the birth of a glass of fresh fruit juice, you need a good food blender or food processor, a large mesh filter (at least 6 inches) and a clean container to hold it.
Step 1: Use appropriate equipment.
Remember, if your juicer is hard and has dense fibers, such as cabbage, beets or carrots, you must use well-made equipment. Cheap goods can't be cut, so it's best to choose a reliable blender or food processor.
In my opinion, food processors are more versatile, and of course professional chefs will swear that mixers are better to use. If you have friends who are vegetarians or eat raw food, you might as well ask their opinions. Anyway, they must have used a blender or a food processor.
Also note that you may need a desktop mixer. Hand-held or immersion mixer will not be your best choice.
Step 2: Prepare the required materials.
Before juicing, it is best to cut off the hard-to-cut parts, such as ginger and beet mentioned above, and cut them into small pieces to avoid jamming or overload. Anyway, I did it to be safe.
Now, you just need to wash the materials and put them in the equipment. Like lemons and limes, you just need to squeeze some juice into the bottle yourself.
Step 3: Mix in the right way.
When mixing, it is best to put the lighter materials on the bottom of the mixer and the heavier ones on it. I found that the effect of cutting materials into dense small pieces is actually similar to that of mixing light fruits.
You need to control the switch of the mixer at all times to ensure that the material can be cut into any size during the whole process.
Step 4: Filter the pulp (unless you want a milkshake).
Next, you have to let the pulp pass through the filter and enter a clean container. You can use a spoon and scraper to remove excess pulp. If you want a juice milkshake, you don't have to remove the pulp.
Look at that! Now you have a cup of fresh and delicious juice! You can thicken the soup with the remaining pulp, or make your own vegetable burger. If you don't like fruit pulp and you happen to have some flowers and plants, give them these fruit pulp, and your plants will love you to death.
If you just want a glass of juice, you won't want to go to so much trouble. You can try the Mei Sen jar stirring technique, or make a fresh juice "cocktail" by hand with a Mei Sen mixer and a stirring stick (which looks like an extra-long pestle).
