Gentle Final Processing

Purpose: prioritize the fresh plant profile, gingerols, vitamin C and volatile aroma compounds, with no final reheating.

1. Allow the filtered hot extract to cool further.
2. When the entire extract is 40 °C or lower, add 2 tbsp acacia honey and 2 level tbsp citric acid.
3. Stir until the honey and citric acid are well distributed/dissolved.
4. Add the remaining 75% fresh raw juice.
5. Stir the entire mixture thoroughly. Do not reheat.
6. Fill thoroughly cleaned and heat-disinfected bottles, close tightly and cool promptly.
7. Store at 4 °C or colder and use a limited storage period.

Our kitchen standard: This version is not pasteurized after most raw juice is added, so it is treated as a fresh refrigerated product.
