Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash the tomatoes, onion, and celery thoroughly.
- Roughly chop the tomatoes and onion.
- Slice the celery into smaller pieces for easy blending.
2. Cook the Mixture:
- Place the chopped tomatoes, onion, and celery into a large saucepan or pot.
- Add the dried bay leaf for aromatic flavoring.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Season the Juice:
- Once the vegetables have softened and released their juices, remove the saucepan from heat.
- Add the paprika, sugar, and a dash of salt to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Blend the Mixture:
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly before blending.
- Remove the bay leaf from the mixture.
- Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the mixture until it is smooth.
- For a smoother texture, strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any remaining pulp and seeds.
5. Add Lemon and Adjust Seasoning:
- Pour the strained juice back into the saucepan or into a large bowl.
- Add the slices of lemon to the juice for a refreshing tang.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or sugar to your preference.
6. Chill the Juice:
- Transfer the juice to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the juice to chill thoroughly.
7. Serve:
- Remove the lemon slices before serving.
- Pour the chilled tomato juice into glasses.
- Enjoy your refreshingly tangy homemade tomato juice!

Tips:

- Use ripe, fresh tomatoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.

- Adjust the amount of salt and sugar to your taste preference.

- Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother consistency.

- Chill the juice in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to enhance its refreshing qualities.

- Add a few ice cubes or a splash of sparkling water for an extra cool and fizzy experience.
