Step 5Thaw and Collect!
Take a colander, sieve, or some other porous container and line it with a coffee filter. Place the frozen gel onto the filter, and put the whole assembly onto a container to collect the clarified liquid. Go to work/sleep/wherever, and let it thaw slowly in the refrigerator.
If your refrigerator is, like mine, permanently stuck just above freezing, stick the assembly in a large ice chest with some ice to keep it chilled.
Or, leave it on the counter and monitor its progress every 20 minutes or so. Don't leave it out overnight, though - you don't want to let it spoil!
Once the mass has been completely defrosted, you're done! Collect the clear golden liquid and enjoy in the manner of your choosing.
I got about 275 ml of clarified V-8. Other liquids, like soup stock or lemonade should result in more collected liquid, as they contain less solids to begin with.
Remember - you can do this with any liquid. The sky's the limit! Want to have a crystal clear asparagus broth? Cheese water? Essence of blueberry? This is the way to do it.
Bon appetit!
