Not all juicers are created equal — the amount of juice extracted varies from brand to brand. The weight ranges for the ingredients below will ensure that you have enough juice.
If you don't have a juicer, you can substitute 3 cups nonalcoholic sparkling cider for homemade apple juice (flavor will be sweeter than Granny Smith apple juice). Increase carrot juice to 4 cups and use a good-quality fresh juice (not canned). Juice ginger by finely grating, then forcing pulp through a fine-mesh sieve.
