Materials
- - juicer with auger (worm) shaft, preferably at low speeds 40-60 rpm
- - container
Preparation
- Prepare the nettles and spinach: wash well in 2 waters by rinsing. If we observe insects on their leaves, a few drops of vinegar can be added to the second water and we quickly get rid of the insects.
After washing, the nettles and spinach are shaken well from the excess water and placed on trays as wide as possible. We will not wait for them to die, because they can oxidize.
If you are sensitive to nettle spikes you can use gloves. - Wash and peel the lemon or lemons. Their role is to balance the taste of the juice, to slow down the oxidation and last but not least to decongest the vegetable juicer, which can clog. If you can't stand the sour taste, you can give up lemons.
Lemons will be cut into 4 pieces (or slices). 
Start squeezing vegetables and lemons. It is recommended to mix the nettles and spinach mixed together and, from time to time, add a slice of lemon.
We also recommend that you break the spinach leaves into 2-3 pieces, as the spinach fibers can cause the juicer to freeze.

Opțional puteți adăuga și miere de albine în suc.

Observations
→ Being a fresh juice, 100% natural and without any sweetener, it is mandatory to keep it in the refrigerator at the lowest possible temperature: 2-4 degrees C.
→ It is ideally recommended to prepare a small amount , just as much as for a portion, within a maximum of 15 minutes of preparation.
→ However, being a juice harder to make, we somehow want slightly larger quantities, but even in this case it is recommended to consume it in a maximum of 3 days after preparation and this under certain conditions. The main condition is that the juice stays as little as possible at room temperature and as little as possible, to avoid oxidation and loss of nutrition. the juice container should be hermetically sealed and stored in the refrigerator (2-4 degrees C). The validity of the juice can be extended by combining it with bee honey, which is a very good preservative . The amount of honey gives us practically the shelf life, but if there is too much honey, be careful, in the end, all the sugar is in the body. To 2 liters of nettle and spinach juice, if you add 4 tablespoons of honey, can extend the validity for up to a week.
→ Another way to prolong the shelf life of juice is to freeze it in small containers or ice bags. Thus we can consume the juice without losing nutrients and after 6 months of preparation.
→ Ideally, the juice should be consumed in small sips within a few minutes (5 -> 10 minutes).
→ It is recommended that nettles and spinach be washed just before the juice is prepared , otherwise you will notice how quickly these ingredients start to oxidize. When I made the video, I bought the nettles and spinach the day before, and to make my job easier, I said to wash the nettles and spinach in the evening for the next morning. I thought that if it's colder outside (~ 5 degrees C) and I spread them on the balcony to dry, they will look good until the next day. Unfortunately, the next day, they had already started to oxidize ... That's it, I chose what could be chosen.
- Washing nettles and spinach : Do it in the sink under running water, when they are very fresh and clean. If the quantity is larger and they are not very clean either, then it is preferable to wash in 2 waters: practically fill the sink with water up to half, rinse the vegetables for ~ 1 minute, then let go of the water and then repeat. once rinsing. If we happen to see insects or small snails on the leaves, we do not have to worry, a quick solution is to add a little vinegar in the second water and we will get rid of it immediately.
