Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use any type of apples?
Yes, you may use any apple you prefer. Though, green apples are more tart and balance the sweetness from the other ingredients.
2. Is it essential to peel the lemon?
Since the lemon peel can be quite bitter, it’s best to juice the lemon without it.
3. Can I make a large batch and store it?
Freshly made juice is best consumed immediately after it’s made. But if necessary, store it in a closed container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
4. Can I add other greens to this juice?
Absolutely. Feel free to experiment with kale, parsley or even green bell peppers.
5. I don’t have a juicer, can I use a blender?
Yes, you can. Blend all ingredients with a bit of water and strain the mixture to get the juice.
