How to Prepare Moringa Juice At Home
Moringa juices are generally prepared at industrial level for mass consumption. However, the procedure to convert moringa leaves into juice is a simple one. If you are interested in customized preparation of juice or to set up a small unit, this process can help you.
Ingredients: freshly harvested Moringa leaves, mortal, water, juicer, strainer, raw honey (optional), lemon juice (optional), and flavoring agents as desired.
Step 1:
Gather a handful of freshly harvested Moringa leaves. It is advisable to collect the fresh matured leaves during season of active growth, as the phytochemicals are better developed and produced in abundant deposits in the leaves. Avoid harvesting the dried, overly grown yellow leaves.
Step 2:
Wash the leaves in water, and be sure to remove any dirt or leaf bugs present on the Moringa leaf bulk. If you can wash with hot water for a couple of minutes, it will further improve the quality of the end product.
Step 3:
Using a mortal, slightly pound the Moringa leaves until they are soft and a little bit juicy. You can add a few Moringa stalk as it contains nutritious fiber.
Be sure to avoid contamination of the Moringa leaves at this stage.
Step 4:
Add water to the Moringa leaf pulp. The volume of water added should not be in excess to avoid undue dilution of the pulp. Water volume should be just enough to allow the smooth running of the Juicer.
Step 5:
Run the Moringa pulp and water mixture through the Juicer until a smooth consistency is achieved. At this point, transfer the juice into a container and run it through the strainer. Retain the filtrate and discard the residue present on the sieve.
Step 6:
Transfer the Moringa juice into a glass cup and add organic honey and a tint of lemon juice. The addition of organic honey and lemon is optional; however, these ingredients mask the slightly odd taste of the Moringa juice and make it more presentable especially in children.
Step 7:
Add flavoring agents and sweeteners to your Moringa juice as desired. And yes, your juice is ready. Store at a low temperature and keep away from heat and sunlight for its long life.
