tomato water

Clear tomato essence

Tomato water is the clear, flavorful liquid extracted from tomatoes, prized in cooking for its pure tomato essence without the pulp or color.

It's typically made by straining crushed tomatoes through cheesecloth or a fine sieve: The chef used tomato water to make a delicate consommé.

The term also describes the liquid that accumulates when sliced tomatoes sit.
