Pennywort juice
4 Attachment(s)
Made some the other day. Anyone tasted it yet? :D ahahha....
First, I wash them. Then I cut them into smaller pieces, easier on the blender. Then I put some in a blender with water. Let it blend until it looks like there aren't any pieces left, then pour the liquid into a contain but through some kind of fabric bag or some sort. |
Why? :eyebrow:

Then I squeeze the juice out and all that's left is the dry, base stuff of the leave. Typically I can make a gallon of juice from a bag of pennywort. People drink this with sugar and how sweet depends on you. The supermarkets have pennywort in cans, but those are too sweet for me. Probably mostly water and sugar and not much pennywort. The tiny shops sell fresh pennywort juice for $5.50 for a half gallon. I make a gallon out of a $4 dollar bag of pennywort leaves and fresher too.

Looks like nettle juice...
|
Ahhh....looked up nettle. Good stuff.
|
's been a fair few years since i had nettle juice/tea/soup.
Oh! D'ye know what i really fancy right now? For some reason it just popped into my head: Dandelion coffee! Haven't had that in fucking years. |
I would try yours tulip, but would skip the cans.
|
why go through all that work? just buy yourself a juicer. (confused)
I've never heard of pennywort juice, but I found this on WikiP: Quote:

after thinking about it, I know not everyone has the spare bucks these days to buy a juicer. But I love my Breville Fountain juicer, and juice greens, including stemmy greens like watercress (though not pennywort) with no problem

Centrifugal or masticating?
|
not sure, or I've forgotten
ETA: I guess it's masticating; looks just like the one in the picture, tho not sure it's the exact model |
Do you do anything with the leftover pulp? Not that it looks fit to eat, I'm just wondering.
|
I reckon you could dry it and sell it in small quantities in baggies near a college campus. never in the same place twice, though.

I have never tried putting all those leaves into a juicer. But how much juice could a juicer extract? Not much, I would think. Watercress has more substance, but these are like freaking grass! As for the pulp, I just put everything down the drain. :p: I have a juicer, as a matter of fact. There's a recipe I use -- celery, cucumber, green pepper, bitter melon, and apple. Supposed to help lower cholesterol, diabetes, what not. With those pulp, my mom use as fertilizer in the garden. You don't eat the the juiced pulp, but you could put in recipes, such as soups, bread, cakes, etc. My juicer came with recipes. :)
