Materials
- - fruit and vegetable juicer with screw shaft (40-60 rpm)
- - containers
Preparation
Preparing the ingredients:
→ Aronia fruits (with bunches) are washed in 2-3 waters, more precisely they can be put in a clean sink, let the water flow over them enough to cover them, let them sit in the water 5 - 10 minutes, after which give way to water, until it drains completely. This operation is repeated 2-3 times.
Place the aronia bunches on flat surfaces, on kitchen towels and leave ~ 1 hour to dry to remove excess water.
→ Wash the ginger well, peel it if it is not from organic sources and then cut it into thin slices so that it can be processed by the juicer.
→ Lemons are also washed and peeled.
Put the aronia/chokeberries, ginger and lemons through the juicer at the same time. This way we ensure a good homogenization of the ingredients and also help the juicer not to clog the sieve.
The obtained juice will be stored in glass containers, hermetically closed, mandatory in the refrigerator.
It is recommended to use small bottles (~ 250 ml), to avoid frequent contact with air and light, by opening the bottle several times during the day. It is also good to fill the bottles to the brim to have as little air as possible, thus avoiding oxidation over time.- Although it can be consumed immediately after preparation, it is recommended that the obtained juice stay ~24 hours to macerate in the refrigerator.
The resulting pulp after squeezing is left to dry and can be used in two ways:
- when preparing teas ~ 2-3 spoons of pulp per 250 ml cup,
- ground/powder, taken as such 1 teaspoon 3 times a day, 30 minutes before meals.
