I made batch after batch
of fresh tomato juice this week, trying a couple different methods until I came up with one that has just the right amount of salt and spice.
I would love to see a new twist on tomato soup... We grow & preserve our own tomatoes every year and to me there is nothing like breaking the seal on a jar of
fresh tomato juice in the dead of winter!
4
ounces fresh tomato juice 2 ounces fresh carrot juice 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice 1/2 tablespoon cracked black pepper 1 - 2 teaspoon turmeric, to taste 1 tablespoon finely chopped basil, parsley or cilantro (optional) 1/2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce 3 - 4 drops olive oil Lime or lemon wedge, sea salt (or celery salt) and black pepper, for rimming the glass Garnish of choice 2 ounces vodka, if making with alcohol.
We've been trained to think tomato juice tastes like that canned stuff when in reality,
fresh tomato juice has so much more depth of flavor.

Fresh tomato juice and buttermilk have excellent bleaching properties and should be effective in lightening dark skin areas.
