Content: After about 30-60 seconds, scoop up your spinach with a slotted spoon, and place the leaves in a strainer. Push down on the spinach gently with your spoon to remove excess water. Alternatively, you can pour the ice water and spinach directly into the strainer. If you do this, scoop out the ice from the strainer using a spoon or your fingers. 7
Squeeze out the water from the spinach using your hands. To get rid of as much water as possible, grab the spinach in your hands and gently squeeze the leaves. Do this for all of your spinach. If you don’t get rid of the excess water, your recipe or sauce can wind up too wet. Did you make this recipe? Leave a review
