Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 1 cup Water
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
- 4 Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the fresh tomatoes thoroughly under running water.
Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, then blanch the tomatoes by placing them in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes, or until the skins start to loosen.
Remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and transfer them to a bowl of cold water to cool. Once cool, peel off the skins.
Chop the peeled tomatoes into quarters and place them in a blender.
Add the fresh ginger, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, mint leaves, black pepper, and salt to the blender.
Pour in 1 cup of water and blend until smooth.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a teaspoon of stevia or monk fruit sweetener and blend again briefly.
Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl or pitcher and pour the blended mixture through it to strain out the pulp and seeds. Use a spoon to press the liquid through the strainer for maximum yield.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes, then pour the spiced tomato juice into each glass.
Garnish with a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately.
