Recipe

Wash the vine-ripened tomatoes and cherry tomatoes thoroughly and remove the stems.
Place the tomatoes, basil leaves, and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth without adding any water.
Line a large bowl with a cotton cloth and pour in the blended tomato mixture.
Tie the opening of the cloth with kitchen twine, hang it in the refrigerator, and let the liquid drip into the bowl.
Without squeezing the cloth, let the clear tomato essence slowly extract overnight.
If you want it even clearer, pass the collected liquid through a coffee filter once more.
Keep the finished tomato essence well chilled and serve in small glasses or soup bowls.

Blend washed tomatoes with basil and garlic until smooth, without water.
Place in a cotton cloth and let it slowly strain in the refrigerator overnight to collect the clear essence.
If needed, strain once more through a coffee filter, then serve chilled.

Cooking tips

Squeezing the cloth forcefully will mix in pulp and make the liquid cloudy, so let it drip naturally.
If you don't have a cotton cloth, you can use a paper coffee filter.
To save time, you can briefly boil the tomato liquid, skim off the floating solids, and strain again, but the aroma may be weaker than with cold steeping.
If you used the heating method, remember that gazpacho is a cold dish, so chill it thoroughly before serving.
