Fresh Homemade Tomato juice

This is my way of a much required weekend cleansing of my own and my family’s system. It is a very simple, easy and a no fuss drink. 

Serves 4

Ingredients

1. 8 ripe juicy red tomatoes  roughly chopped 
2. 1 long and fat celery stick  chopped(  You can use mint or coriander if you cannot find celery)
3. 2 tsps of fresh lemon juice
4. Rock salt to taste
5. Water as required
6. A few drops of tabasco sauce.

Procedure

1. Put everything in a blender except tabasco sauce.
2. Blend well, strain the juice in a jug and keep it in the fridge. 
3. Serve chilled in individual glasses with a celery stick  which functions as a stirrer.(You would require to stir occasionally or else the pulp floats on top and water tends to settle at the bottom of the glass)
4. Tomato and celery are a match made in heaven.
5. Tabasco sauce makes it hot and spicy. It is better to let people help themselves .
