Claim:
1. A leaf juice extracting apparatus for extracting juice from a plurality of leaves, comprising: a processing assembly having a bottom wall having a planar configuration and an upstanding side wall that, together, define an processing chamber for receiving the plurality of leaves and water, said side wall having an upper rim that defines an open top configured to allow access into said processing chamber; wherein said processing assembly includes a heating element positioned adjacent a lower surface of said bottom wall and configured to impart heat to said bottom wall when energized; a lid removably coupled to said upper rim and configured to cover said open top; a steam assembly in fluid communication with said processing chamber for selectively receiving an incoming water portion from said processing chamber into a steam chamber, said steam chamber including a steam heating element configured to change the incoming water portion into steam; an extraction member selectively situated in said processing chamber of said processing assembly and configured to selectively apply pressure upon the plurality of leaves therein so as to cause juice to be extracted from the plurality of leaves; wherein said extraction member includes: a collection assembly in fluid communication with said processing chamber that is configured to selectively communicate said extracted juice from said processing chamber into a collection reservoir; wherein said collection assembly includes a base positioned to support said collection reservoir and a collection heating element situated on said base for imparting heat thereto when energized so as to process said extracted juice.
