Rinse all the fruits and vegetables under cold running water. Peel the beets, carrots, cucumber, ginger, lemon, and orange. Remove the apple core, then chop everything into small, even pieces so they fit easily into your juicer or blender.

Add the ingredients to your juicer, switching between the firmer vegetables and softer fruits to help everything process evenly. For a blender, combine all the chopped ingredients and pour in ½ to 1 cup of cold water. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth.

For blended juice, pour the mixture through a fine strainer or a layer of cheesecloth to separate the juice from the pulp. Stir in the optional sumac if you enjoy a gentle citrusy tang, then mix until well combined.

Fill chilled glasses with the fresh beet juice and add ice if you like it extra cold. Drink it right away for the freshest taste. Give it a quick stir before serving since fresh juice naturally separates over time.
