Problem: Article: Choose a large jar or container that's at least 4 inches (10cm) wide and 6 inches (15cm) tall. Run the container through the dishwasher or wash it with hot, soapy water to sterilize it. Avoid using non-food-grade plastics to store the noni fruits since these can release chemicals into the noni juice. Instead, choose a glass, metal, or food-grade plastic container. To gather your own noni fruit, look for fruits that are honey-yellow or very pale. Ensure that you don't break the thin branches of the noni plant when you pick the fruit. Pick as many ripe nonis as you need to fill your jar. If ripe noni fruit is available for purchase in your area, you could buy it instead of picking it. Hold the ripe fruit under cold running water to rinse away any dirt or debris. Then place them in direct sunlight to dry for a few hours or wipe them dry with a clean cloth. It's important to remove as many pathogens from the outside of the fruits as possible before you begin fermentation. Put the dry noni fruits into the container so it's completely full. Keep in mind that there need to be gaps between the fruits, so there's no need to cut or cram the fruits to fit the space. Screw the lid on the jar or container so it's secure. Sealing the lid will create an airtight space which will prevent contamination. If weather permits, set the jar outside. If you can't put it outside, place it in a sunny spot in your house such as a windowsill that gets direct sunlight. Leave the fruit to ferment in the jar for up to 2 months. You should see the juice leaking out from the fruit. The jar will fill with liquid that's pale in color, but it will darken over time. Since there will pulp and debris mixed in with the juice, you'll have to filter them out. Set a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Open the jar and slowly pour the juice through the strainer. The bowl you pour the juice into should be clean and sterile. To remove the most sediment, place silkscreen or cheesecloth in the fine mesh strainer before you pour the juice into it. Although you can drink unpasteurized juice, pasteurized juice lasts longer and is safer to drink. To pasteurize noni juice at home, put the open jar of noni juice into a pot of boiling water. The water level should cover that of the juice, but not be so high that it might flow into the jar. Heat the juice until it reaches and stays at 160F (71C) for 1 full minute. Use an instant-read or candy thermometer to determine the temperature of the juice. If the juice looks cloudy and you're concerned that it might be contaminated, check the pH of the noni juice. Buy litmus paper and dip it into the cool noni juice. If the juice is safe to drink, it should have a pH of 3.5 or less. If the pH is higher than 3.5, it's probably contaminated and not safe to drink. Screw the lid onto the jar of juice and keep the juice at room temperature. While you should be able to store and use the noni juice indefinitely, keep it in the refrigerator if you'd like chilled juice. Remember to label the jar so you know what's in it and when you made it. If you're concerned about storing noni juice for a long period of time, you may want to make a new batch after a year or so.
Summary: Sterilize a large container to hold the noni fruits. Pick ripe noni fruit. Rinse and dry the fruit. Fill the container with noni fruits and seal it shut. Place the jar of fruit in the sunshine for 6 to 8 weeks. Strain the noni juice through a filter. Pasteurize the juice. Test the pH of the juice. Seal and store the noni juice.

Problem: Article: Start by finding a quiet area in your house where you can address your sister in private. This may be in a room you share together or in your sister's room. Making the apology in a private, quiet space will show your sister that you are serious about your apology and want to discuss the matter away from others. Try to make your heartfelt apology in person, face to face. Texting or emailing an apology can seem disingenuous and may not hold as much of an emotional impact as an in person apology. You should also choose a time that is most convenient for your older sister. Do not try to apologize to her when she is in a rush and on her way out or when she is hanging out with friends at home. Choose a time where she is alone and can focus on your apology. Begin your apology by noting that you hurt your sister and that you want to address her hurt feelings. Do not use "if" or "but" when you speak to your sister. Be honest and acknowledge that your sister is upset. For example, you may say, "I understand that your feelings may have been hurt when I read your diary without asking for your permission," or you may say, "I realize that I made you upset when I said unkind things to you in front of your friends." You should then be willing to admit that you acted poorly or that you were in the wrong. Taking responsibility for your actions will show your sister that you realize you behaved badly and want to make amends for your behavior towards her. Avoid mentioning your sibling's own behavior and do not try to blame your sister or make her feel bad. You are apologizing for your actions, not putting your sister on trial for her actions. Blaming her will only make her more upset. You may say, "I know that I acted badly when I read your diary" or "I can see now that my unkind words toward you were hurtful and unfair." You may also say, "I was mad at you but I should not have taken my anger out on you." Make sure you own up to your actions by using "I" statements in your apology. This will show your sister that you are standing by your words and willing to acknowledge that you acted poorly towards her. You should say "sorry" once to your sister, with intention and feeling. Avoid saying "sorry" multiple times as it may sound hollow or empty after you say it once. Maintain eye contact with her when you make your apology. This will let her know you are serious and genuine. For example, you may say, "I'm sorry for what I did to you," or "I apologize for being hurtful and unfair toward you." Do not expect your sister to forgive you right away. She may accept your apology but still be upset at you, or she may not respond at all to your apology. Your sister may need time to process her anger and will accept your apology when she is ready. Keep in mind your sister is not obligated to accept your apology right away, or at all. You should be respectful toward her and give her time to forgive you. If your sister responds to your apology with feedback or comments about your behavior, you should listen to it without judgement. Be willing to listen to what she has to say and use this feedback to improve your behavior towards her in the future. Do not retaliate or get upset if she responds to your apology with comments or feedback.
Summary:
Find a quiet, private setting. Acknowledge your sister's feelings. Take responsibility for your actions. Use "I" statements in your apology. Give your sister time to accept your apology.
