How to make apple juice at home with a blender, juicer, or manual, with no added sugar! Fresh, delicious, and easy to prepare, this homemade apple juice (aka unfiltered apple cider juice) is ready in no time at all.

How to Make Apple Juice (With and Without Juicer)

apples

There are three main ways that you can easily use to make homemade apple juice at home, including with a juicer, blender, or manually (machine free).If your apples are waxed, then you’ll first want to remove this. To do so, you can dip the apples in hot water with a splash of distilled vinegar (or ACV) for a few seconds, then rinse them with cold tap water. Alternatively, you can use some apple cider vinegar or white vinegar and a paper towel to wipe the apples then rinse them.

Clean and chop the apples, discarding the core with the seeds. Optionally peel the apples – though I don’t.

Add the apple pieces to your blender along with ½ cup or so of water (or even orange juice) – this will help the machine blend the apples into a smooth(-ish) juicy, pulpy consistency.  

If you want to get rid of the pulp, pour the apple juice into a nut milk bag or through a muslin cloth and manually squeeze it to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.You can optionally add some back into the juice if you want just a little pulp. Check the FAQs for more ways to use the leftover apple pulp.

Using a Blender

Wash, and chop the apples – removing the inner core/seeds – into pieces small enough to fit your juicer chute. Optionally peel the apples, though I don&#39;t.

Feed the apple pieces into your juicer, and voila! Save the apple pulp to use later (check FAQs).

Using a Juicer

Wash the apples if needed. Then grate them into a muslin/cheesecloth-lined bowl (or use a strainer).

Once grated, pull the cloth together, twist the top and wring it well/ squeeze by hand to remove as much juice from the apples as possible.To make the process simpler, freeze the grated apple overnight, then leave it to defrost at room temperature before squeezing the juice. When thawing, the apple will soften enough to make it easier to squeeze.

Squeezing the Juice Manually

This isn&#39;t a method I often use, as I prefer to use heat-free methods for the highest nutrition. However, the boiled method often makes for a higher volume of juice, AND it allows you to use lots of leftover apple scraps from other recipes, too (peels, cores, etc.)Gather your apple scraps and any additional washed thin apple slices – there&#39;s no need to core them as you’ll be straining all the pulp afterward anyway. However, feel free to do so if you want to use the pulp for applesauce.

Add the apples to a large pot and cover them with an inch of water (don’t add too much as it will dilute the juice. It is better to add more later if preferred than add too much now). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high. Once the water boils, reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid, cooking for 25-30 minutes (stirring occasionally), or until the apples are very tender. 

Transfer the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, muslin cloth, or nut milk bag to strain. Next, use a spoon (or your hands when it’s cool enough to handle) to press/squeeze the remaining apple pulp to remove as much juice as possible. 

Taste and adjust the juice with more water/sweetener if preferred. Then, you can use the leftover apple pulp to mix/blend into homemade applesauce with a bit of cinnamon and sweetener. You can also &quot;water bath can&quot; this version of apple juice, though I haven’t tried. I recommend referring to professional guidelines. However, my previous experience would have me recommending a 10-minute processing time, leaving an inch headspace in the canning jars before processing.

Bonus: Boiling Method

Store: I recommend drinking homemade apple juice within 24 hours for the best flavor and nutrient levels. However, the leftover juice will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It will brown over time as it oxidizes. To increase the shelf life of the homemade apple juice then you can pasteurize the juice.Freeze: freeze any leftover apple juice as quickly as possible for optimal nutrient retention. I recommend doing so in ice-cube trays for &quot;portioned&quot; juice. You can store the juice in the freezer for several months (4-6). You can then add the apple juice ice cubes to other drinks, smoothies, and slushies - or allow them to thaw in the fridge first.

How to Store?

How to juice a lime with or without a juicer, using one of 6 methods! Including top tips, FAQs, and how to freeze limes (whole, sliced/wedges, juice, zest) for longer-term storage!

How to Juice a Lime (6 Methods With + Without Juicer | + Freeze it)

lime

No matter which of the below methods you use, here are a couple of tricks for how to get the most juice out of a lime (and most citrus fruits). These include:•	Roll the limes on the countertop to break up/loosen the membranes.•	Microwaving them for 20-25 seconds can help also loosen membranes and make it easier to extract the juice.•	Slice them lengthwise instead of crosswise when juicing. Make sure to also always work with room temperature limes, as they&#39;ll be softer, so easier to juice.

Slice the limes in half.

Press each lime section against the reamer and let the machine do its thing.Most electric citrus juicers naturally filter the pulp/seeds from the fresh lime juice.

Electric Citrus Juicer Method

Tabletop version: slice the lime/s in half and, similarly to the electric juicer, place each over the juicer. Twist it back and forth over the reamer to release as much juice as possible.

Hand-held reamer/Hinge-based juicer: first, place a bowl/container beneath where you&#39;ll juice the limes. To strain the pulp/seeds, I recommend placing a fine-mesh sieve above it. For the hand-held reamer, simply hold a half piece in the palm of your hand and use your other hand to press the reamer into the cut side of the lime halves and twist back and forth to release the juice. For a hinge-based juicer, place the lime half into the tool and then press it tightly close to squeeze out as much juice as possible.

Citrus Reamer/Handheld Citrus Squeezer

Slice each lime in half and, working on one piece at a time, place them over a sieve-lined bowl.

Press either a spoon or fork into the center of the lime segment and squeeze and twist. Use the fork/spoon to scrape against the lime&#39;s sides to extract as much fresh lime juice as possible.

Fork or Spoon Method

Slice the limes into lengthwise quarters and place them in your stand mixer bowl.

Cover the bowl using a splatter guard (or a layer of clingfilm).

Turn the mixer on LOW and allow it to crush/squeeze all the juice from the limes.

Finally, pour that mixture through a sieve/nut milk bag.

Stand Mixer Method

Press a skewer (or chopstick) into the non-stem end of the lemon. Pushing it right into the fruit without coming out the other end.

Then simply hold it over a container and squeeze. The pulp and seeds should stay inside while the juice streams out.

Skewer Method

Place the lime/s in the freezer in a Ziplock bag and allow to freeze entirely.

When you need the juice, allow the limes to thaw at room temperature. Then slice in half and squeeze by hand or with a fork/spoon.

Wash the beets well and chop them into 4-8 pieces, depending on their size (small enough to fit your juicer chute).

Juicer method

Wash the beets well. Chop them down into several pieces (4 or 8, depending on their size).

Transfer them to the blender with a 1/4-1/3 cup of water (use the smallest amount first and increase if needed).

Blend the beets and water until smooth and juicy.

Transfer the mixture to a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer layered with cheesecloth to strain the juice from the pulp.Note that beet juice STAINS, so use materials you don’t mind staining permanently.

Blender Method

Store: I recommend consuming homemade beet juice immediately for maximum nutrients and freshness. However, any leftovers will store in a covered bottle/ jar in the fridge for a further 1-2 days.Freeze: You can freeze the beets detox juice for 3 months in Ziplock bags, freezer-safe jars, or ice cube trays (depending on the material, expect staining), depending on the portion sizes. Allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
