How to Make Homemade Tomato Juice
- Combine 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 celery stalk (chopped), and 1 tsp salt in a large dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until tomatoes are softened.
- Remove from heat and carefully transfer the vegetable mixture to a food mill or sieve. Press to remove seeds and skins, collecting the juice in a bowl.
- Stir in 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tbsp sugar, and additional salt to taste (start with 1/4 tsp and adjust).
- Refrigerate thoroughly for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled, over ice with a sprig of fresh basil or celery for an extra touch of elegance.
