Anise Juice with Strawberries
posted on May 19th, 2008 in Juicer RecipesThis juice reminds me of wandering along the streets of Paris. Paris is a beautiful city that has managed to keep its attraction for me even though I usually prefer a quite landscape. This juice has the taste of Paris, the richness, the secretiveness and the fullness of its streets and hidden corners.
Ingredients:
* 1 cup strawberries
* 1 rockmelon
* 2 anise stalks
Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, then onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.
Preparation instructions:
* juice the strawberries first on notch 2
* then juice the melon on notch 1
* lastly, juice the anise stalks tasting the juice after each half stalk in order to find the right sweetness for your own taste
Preparation time: 10 min
Yields: 2 glasses
Preparation hints:
Peal the melon finely and use very ripe, almost overripe strawberries with a very round flavor. For decoration, pierce a strawberry on the rim of the glass and cut 2-3 small chunks of melon into the juice. This juice is great chilled so have the fruits in the fridge for a couple of hours before you start juicing.
Nutritional information:
Melons have a remarkably high content of vitamin C. Rock melons with a darker orange flesh are also a good source of carotene. Apart from its unique flavor, Anise is said to increase ones sexual drive and reduce flatulence.
