- 1 1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger

NO JUICER?:
- Coarsely chop all ingredients.
- First, place the soft and/or juice ingredients in the blender and process until liquefied.
- Then, add the remaining ingredients; blend until liquefied.
- Cut two 24-inch-long pieces of cheesecloth. Completely unfold each piece and then stack the pieces on top of each other.
- Fold the double stack in half so you have a 4-layer stack of cloth.
- Line a large bowl with the cheesecloth and pour the contents of the blender into the center.
- Gather the edges of the cloth together in one hand and use the other hand to twist and squeeze the bundle to extract all the juice from the pulp.
