Materials
- - ice cubes bags
- - juicer for vegetables and fruits of choice with screw shaft at low rotations (40rpm)
Preparation
Wash the fresh parsley under running water, then shake off the excess water and possibly cover with a paper kitchen towel. The limes will also be washed.
We will peel the limes. If you don't have lime, you can also use lemon.
With the help of a fruit vegetable juicer with a worm shaft, we will squeeze the juice from the parsley. Do not put the whole parsley in the juicer, as its yield will decrease significantly (it will practically freeze). We recommend cutting or tearing the parsley into pieces of ~2 cm and this so that it can easily pass through the juicer.
Cut the limes into 4 and put them through the juicer at the same time as the parsley or at the end. They also help to decongest the juicer. If the obtained juice is too thick, you can add 1-2 more limes or lemons.
As soon as it is ready, transfer the juice as quickly as possible to ice cube bags to avoid oxidation on contact with air and light.
Transferring the juice to ice cube bags can be made easier by using a mini-funnel if you have one, or by thinning the juice by adding more lime or lemon.
The bags of ice cubes filled with parsley juice, will be put in the freezer. In ~ 2 hours they freeze.
They can be kept for up to 1 year, although consumption within 6 months is recommended.
Observations
Storage and validity:
→ Will be stored in ice cube bags, freezer only.
→ Effectively break a cube at a time, as much as is consumed, and immediately put the rest in the freezer.
→ Validity is 12 months from the date of freezing, but we recommend that you consume it within a maximum of 6 months!
⚠ It is ideal to consume the juice fresh, as soon as it has been made. In contact with air and light, it deteriorates quickly and therefore, even in the refrigerator, it is not recommended to be kept for more than 6 hours. One solution to keep it longer is to freeze it right after it's made.
