Super juice

Directions

Peel the citrus of choice, weigh the peels, and put them in a jar with the appropriate amount of citric (and malic, for lime and orange) acid. See the formula above.

Shake well and leave it for up to two hours. This will give you “oleo citrate,” which will give our juice acidity and citrus flavor.

Then place everything from the jar (including the peels) into a blender and add water (again see formula above). Make sure to rinse inside of a jar with water to get out all the oleo citrate.

Juice the lime/lemon/orange and add the juice into the blender as well.

Blend for half a minute then strain through a cheesecloth.

Bottle the Super Juice, keep it in the fridge and use it within a week.

From May 2025 batch:

6 limes -> 30 g lime peel

20 g citric acid

10 g malic acid

500 g water (2 cups)

This made 20 oz super juice. The juice of the limes alone was 4.8 oz.

Super juice mojito tasting notes

More lime-y (Maria)

More light, refreshing, seltzer-y (Siobhan)

Siobhan preferred the super juice version. I preferred the lime version. Maria didn't have a preference. We all thought the same one was the super juice.
