How to make garlic juice – ¼ of a cup or one serving.
Ingredients: 1 head of garlic.
1) Break up the garlic cloves. Put them in a Garlic Shaker® and shake the skin off. Pour the skinless cloves out. Next you should wash them clean.
2) Using a garlic press, or blend them to make garlic puree. Take the puree and place it in a strainer and strain the juice out into a bowl or you can use a spatula to press the juice down to the bowl. Remove all matter except for the garlic juice itself. You may keep the garlic cloves for cooking or other uses.
3) Next you want to get the cleanest purest form of garlic juice. In order to accomplish this you need to take a coffee filter and hold it over a bowl. Do not pour it through a coffee maker because the strong flavor of the garlic will be hard to clean and remove. Pour the raw garlic juice through the coffee filter, holding the filter securely in your hand and allowing the juice to strain through the filter into the bowl. Go slowly because the process of getting the juice to filter through the strainer can take a little patience.
4) After you have strained all of the raw juice through the coffee filter, it is now ready for use. You can drink it immediately if desired, or refrigerate for later use. We prefer to add some lemon for flavor. The garlic juice may also be added to other juices and to soups and other foods. You can even add cinnamon if you prefer that flavor with a little bit of sugar.
