    What does steeping do exactly?

    I'm a Food Scientist by education & Trade and most liquid foods do require some steeping, ejuice is no different.

    Yucky juice

    Doesn't solve the waiting issue but honestly, try steeping the juice for a week - some juice I bought was just bloody horrible when it arrived, left it in a cupboard and then ran out of my regular so was forced to try the nasty stuff again and viola - actually tasted good after sitting for a...
