Tomato Juice Recipe
🍅 Description: This recipe is a delightful adaptation from my collection of “Juicer” recipes. While it’s not a tried and tested method, it promises a burst of freshness and healthiness in every sip. Keep in mind that making this juice during off-season might be a bit pricey, as it takes about 12 tomatoes to yield just 4 glasses of juice. However, fret not, for you can elevate the flavor profile by incorporating a slice of onion, a bay leaf, and a dash of parsley, or simply enjoy it plain. The addition of Tabasco sauce adds a subtle kick, compensating for the absence of salt. I’m eager to hear your feedback on how it turns out!
