Instructions
Step 1
Attach the fine mesh filter to the auger and assemble the unit. Place the juice and pulp jugs in place. Select START/STOP and feed the apples into the feed chute, pressing with the tamp as you go along. Juice all of the apples, then leave the machine running for a few minutes until all of the juice has been pushed through.
Step 2
Place the juice in a small saucepan together with all the spices, cover with a lid. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave to steep for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Whilst the juice is steeping juice the carrots and ginger in the machine.
Step 4
Strain the spiced apple juice using a fine-mesh sieve. Pour the carrot and ginger juice into the warm apple juice. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg on top before serving.
Notes:
Juice is best served immediately but can be bottled and served the next day.
