Step 1

Peel the ginger root with a vegetable peeler or spoon. You can juice unpeeled ginger in a juicer, though I prefer to remove most of the skin, as it can affect the flavor, and make juicing more difficult.

Step 2

Cut into a few large chunks and juice according to your manufacturer's instructions.

Step 3

Peel the ginger root with a vegetable peeler or spoon. Roughly chop the ginger and add to a blender. Add 1 cup of filtered water. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Set a piece of cheesecloth over a bowl or jar and strain the juice through the cloth.

Step 5

Peel the ginger root with a vegetable peeler or spoon.

Step 6

Set a piece of cheesecloth, doubled, over a small bowl.

Step 7

Use a Microplane grater to grate all of the ginger into the cheesecloth-lined bowl. You will have about 1/3 cup of grated ginger.

Step 8

Pick up the cheesecloth and squeeze the juice from the solids into a bowl or other small jar.
