What is 'steeping'?

[kerk]

Tried a search, but the search function never works for me, it just says 'loading' forever.

Anyway, saw the term 'steep' on another thread and would like to know what that's all about.

Thanks

Letting a juice just "sit" after you first get it. When you get anything other than DeKang juices they're generally mixed to your order and the flavor in juices comes out better after it's had time to sit for awhile. Generally in a cool, dark place like a cabinet.

Kind of like how older wines get better with time.

When you get a new order of juices sometimes they are not very tasty right away. They need to "steep" for a week or more. That means you set it aside in a cool, dark place and shake it once a day. Usually, it works better if you can take the lid off to let it "breathe" while steeping. Then, when some time has passed the juices will taste better as they've had time to mature.

Some of the juices I've gotten are vile until they steep awhile. Then, they're delicious. Other times, no matter how long I let it steep, it's still vile. Lol.

This information should be in the user manual that comes with your kit, as I did not know this either.lol

I guess I lucked out so far with everything but 1 so maybe that still has hope .
