How to Make Fresh Celery Juice
Step 1: Wash the celery stalks thoroughly under cold running water, removing any dirt from the ribs.
Step 2: If using a juicer, feed the celery stalks through the chute one by one. If using a blender, chop the celery into 1-inch pieces and blend with a small splash of filtered water.
Step 3: For blender users, pour the blended celery through a fine-mesh nut milk bag or cheesecloth over a large bowl. Squeeze firmly to extract the juice and discard the dry pulp.
Step 4: Stir in lemon juice or ginger juice if using.
Step 5: Pour the fresh celery juice into a chilled glass and serve right away for the crispest flavor.
Serving and Storage Tips
Fresh celery juice tastes best right after it is made. If you need to store it, pour the juice into a glass jar, fill it close to the top, seal it with an airtight lid, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Shake gently before serving because natural separation is normal.

No. Lemon is optional and adds a brighter flavor, but the juice can be made with celery alone.
Can I make it without a juicer?
