Homemade tomato juice
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. If you have a juicer, the whole process will take no more than five minutes. However, not everyone has such a machine, and that's no reason to deny yourself a glass of this tasty and healthy beverage. You can add other vegetables and herbs to the tomatoes (peppers, celery). Store the prepared juice in the refrigerator.
