You know it won’t be filled with flavourings and preseratives, and you’ll be getting all of the natural nutritional benefits.

DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL.

Pour the mixture into a muslin-lined sieve over a jug and allow it to drip through. You can stir the mixture gently with a spoon to speed up the process.
