Notes
How to Make Fresh Juice in the Blender.
Depending on the tenacity of your blender, and the combination of produce you select, you may be able to blend without a splash of water. Try first, then if things get stuck, add a bit of water, adding more in small amounts as needed to make sure everything blend smoothly.
Blend away! Add water as needed to ensure the best blend. The key here is making sure everything is nice and fine.
Place a funnel into a wide mouthed mason jar, or similar container. In the funnel, set the fine mesh strainer. Over the strainer, drape the square of cheese cloth. Cut the cheesecloth to fit if needed, leaving about 1-2" overhang to make picking up the cheesecloth easier. Carefully pour the entire contents of the blender through the cheesecloth.
Pour the blender contents through the cheesecloth. The juice will flow through the cheesecloth, the strainer, down the funnel and into the jar with no pulp.
Gently lift the cheesecloth from the bowl by bringing all the sides together to form a seal. Squeeze the pulp in the cheesecloth to remove any remaining juice.
