Homemade tomato juice in the Serbian way, very simple and quick to prepare. You will need to sterilize the bottles, and if you have a blender it will be much easier, you will spend more time cleaning the tomatoes from the stems if there are any. Tomato juice is ideal as a drink, and you can use it for some sauces or as an addition to tomato soups. Tomatoes are extremely healthy, they contain the substance lycopene, which is very important for men and their prostate. So healthy meals depend on you. In any case, you are better off making homemade juices, compared to those sold in the store, because all these factory products have some additives that are not very healthy. For a few ingredients and patience, you will have a very good and natural product for winter days. You can double or triple the amount, considering that 1 kg of tomatoes contains 10 g of salt and 25 g of sugar. When buying tomatoes, make sure they are juicy and ripe, not overripe. Follow recipe.
