Step 1:
How do you make tomato juice from tomato paste? First, gather the ingredients you'll need. You'll need filtered water, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper.
-
Step 2:
Stir the tomato paste into one cup of water, mixing well. It's best to use a good-tasting tomato paste with no added salt, sugar, starch, or preservatives. Then the tomato juice will turn out just to your taste.
-
Step 3:
Then add salt - sea salt is best - and black pepper to taste. You can also add a little sugar. Add spices and seasonings or leave them out, depending on your preferences (for example, you can skip the black pepper, or, conversely, add a pinch of red pepper to it).

Delicious homemade tomato juice is ready!
- Be sure to make this wonderful, delicious drink! It's perfect as an addition to dinner. Homemade tomato juice also comes in handy with grilled meat at a picnic. You can use tomato juice in all kinds of dishes - as a base for sauces and gravies, and in canning as a fill for salads.
- Since everyone's tolerance for salt, sweetness, bitterness, heat, acidity, and spice is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste! If you're using a seasoning for the first time, keep in mind that some are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for example).
- For making this, it's best to use filtered or bottled water that's neutral in taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the drink an unpleasant off taste.
